i have a batch file with the following code

@ECHO OFF
wrapper /i LPLocker.msi
EXIT

this batch launches an executable Wrapper.exe, then opens the setup package LPLocker.msi. Now, this works fine but you can see the command prompt the whole time. i want the command prompt to be minimized or entirely invisible. that's what i thought the ECHO OFF did. but i was wrong because i can still see it. anyone know the proper commands to do this.

Yeah, you're gonna kick yourself when you read this one...

You know how you put the '@' in front of the echo off?

Well put that '@' sign in front of every line and nothing
will show up. Only the flashing cursor. Seemed to work on
my end. Even if you put it in front of a file name.
