This message usually comes from Microsoft JScript. You want to open Unity JS files in MonoDevelop, or a generic text editor such as notepad.

Are you using monodevelop

The error message you get comes from a microsoft tool called ScriptHost. This has nothing whatsoever to do with Unity… It probably means that you have files with a .js file extension associated with that MS tool. Usually you’d create a JavaScript file from inside the Unity editor. When you edit it that file from Unity you should get a tool called MonoDevelop open which will allow you to edit the JavaScript. Instead you’re getting the Windows ScriptHost, which is trying to execute the code, and is complaining about the # character. If you are trying to edit JS files from outside Unity, try using Right-Click Open With instead of double clicking. Perhaps choose either MonoDevelop or Notepad.
