Batch files.

Hi,
I've created a batch file which would inturn launch a setup of a software. The setup has a silent installation mode so everything has to be done in the background. But whenever I launch the batch file a black window (DOS window) is also launched. How can I supress that black window from appearing.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

I think the START command under Windows might help you especially the /B switch. Do:

Code:

---

start /?"

---

in a console to check it out.

If that doesn't satisfy you can write a simple launch program using CreateProcess with the CREATE_NO_WINDOW. This, I know, will do the trick.
