I have read around the net that its possible to debug VBScript WSH files Visual Studios 2005 Express (I think Web Edition) but everytime I try cscript.exe myscript.vbs //X the script just executes.

I have tried VS Express 2005, 2008 and 2010 all editions.

I have also tried Visual Studios Premium 2010 which does infact debug scripts as I would expect however I want to be able to debug scripts with free tools (I don't want to get a VS 2010 licence for all the other people on my team).

I know about Microsoft Script Debugger but it doesn't let you discover objects as well as Visual studios does.
