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. Learning is a never ending process of Life.

if you are using NT, you can start a seperate process and hide the window using the START command and the /B Switch ... some important switches for START that mey be useful (ie, ymmv) START /Dpath Sets Current Drive And Dir For COmmand To path /I Initializes environment from parent /MIN or /MAX Starts new window minimized or maxmized /LOW, /NORMAL, or /HIGH - sets priority /WAIT Waits for app to terminate before continuing /B Executes command without creating new window ... Ive missed out a few unimportant settings - hope this helps though ;P
