The old ADPlus.vbs is being replaced by ADPlus.exe which requires the .Net Framework 2.0. For those cases where the .Net Framework isn't available we are still shipping the older version renamed to adplus_old.vbs. For detailed documentation of the new ADPlus.exe as well as for its new companion ADPlusManager.exe please see adplus.doc located in the same folder as adplus.exe.

Additional details on some of these features can be found in the debugger documentation (debugger.chm). To open this documentation, use Start --> Debugging Tools for Windows --> Debugging Help.
