external program not working when hidden or minimized?

[Eley]

Why can I not get these external commands (MS .Net 3.5 SP1 Silent Install or Uninstall string) to run when I apply the hide, minimize or other flag?

Code runs fine without such flags but throws up the cmd window which (obviously) destroys the silent approach to its execution.

Installer:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "c:\dotnet35extract\wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetFx35setup.exe /q /norestart", "", @SW_HIDE)

Uninstaller:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & '"C:\Windows\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1\setup.exe" /q /uninstall /norestart', "", @SW_HIDE)

Is this a problem with the external program itself or is there another way of calling the exe + switches silently that I could try?

Thanks in advance

Haven't tested it but you can try _RunDOS() and see if that might work better for you. Just watch the process in Task Manage to see if it is running or you can use ProcessExists() for testing purposes.
