Hide window

[scottlong]

I install a .msi file via

RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c msiexec path.msi /i /qb", @SW_HIDE)

then run it, it can hide DOS window, but after some seconds,

system popup another installation window, show installation progress.

I want to know how to hide this window also?

Thanks for your help!

Try

$_MsiPath = @ScriptDir & '\File.msi'
RunWait ( 'msiexec /i "' & $_MsiPath & '" /qn /Quiet /NoRestart' )

Sorry, I wrote wrong for first sentence, it should be

RunWait (@ComSpec & " /c msiexec path.msi /i /qn", @SW_HIDE)

qn - no UI, but the UI still popup after some seconds, It seems after executing msiexec, then loading anther process.

Have you tried

ShellExecuteWait('path.msi', '/qn', '', 'install')

or do you need a PID or STDOUT?
