Let me explain the problem... Lets say name of application is MyApp.exe. SO following is the behavior I want. On Command Prompt C:\MyApp \\This will Launch the GuiClient C:\MyApp -Help \\This will list out the all of the commands supported by command line version C:\MyApp -Command1 \\This will execute the command and show the result on console Above mentiotned functionality is working fine if I make it a console application. If I make it a Window Application user will not ba able to alunch it from Console. But After making it a console application whenever I try to launch the windows version (i.e. By Double clicking EXE) a console window is also launched. I do not want this Console window. I hope I explain the issue.

Hello, I am working on a application which runs in Window Mode. I am using Visual Studio 2003 for the developement. Following Setting control the mode of application... Project Settings->Linker->System->SubSystem == Windows. My task is to add some command line functionality in it. To make it possible I changes the above mentioned property to Console. Project Settings->Linker->System->SubSystem == Console. Now I am able to add the Command Line functioanlity and it is workign fine. Only probelm I am facing is that whenever I launch the GUI application a command window also launches. this behavior is quite obvious as application is a console one. But I want to change this behavior, I do not want console window when I launch GUI and also want to keep the console functioality. Here I would like to mention that, Conasole and Window version of the applicaion is mutually exclusive of each other and can not be used at the same time. Thanks Vikrant.

Following is the Error Message I get while installing Visual Studio 3.0 on the Vista Regsvcs.exe- Common Language Runtime Debugging Services Application has generated an Exception which could not be handled. Process ID = 0xeac(3756) thread ID = 0xe34(3768) Any body else facing this? I found one solution for this on Net which suggests some modification in registry, I want to avoid that.
