Run a console program without its console appearing

[supergg02]

Is it possible to run a console mode GUI program without its attendant console appearing ?

I try that using _RunDOS( $sCommand ) but the console appear !! I think because _RunDOS is only for cmd.exe and not for other Exe console

run(@comspec & " /c  YOUR COMMAND GOES HERE",'',@SW_HIDE)

no no i said that it not work ! beleive me ! tray to do that with PsExec.exe (a freeware console program from sysinternal) and you will see that doing that it will appear a console !!

run(@comspec & " /c YOUR COMMAND GOES HERE",'',@SW_HIDE) is only for internal dos command !!

Your last statement is incorrect . @Comspec can execute internal and external commands as the below sample will show. XCopy is an external commandline tool in the system directory. XCopy will be hidden for 5 seconds then closed.

$pid = Run(@ComSpec & ' /k xcopy /?', '', @SW_HIDE)
Sleep(5000)
ProcessClose($pid)

If PsExec does not hide, the you maybe able to use PsExec directly:

Run('path_to\psexec.exe /switch', '', @SW_HIDE)
