hide command prompt with batch file

[hinchdog]

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. THX

btw - i want the solution to be cross platform

Your command prompt is deleted when you use the <prompt> command to run an ANSI escape sequence.
Eg. prompt $e[31;42m red on green
prompt $e[5;31;44m blinking text (red) on a blue backgrund
prompt $e[0m restores default white on black(that's a zero)


(Just a wild guess.!)

Hey,

I'm not sure if I get this correctly, but why do you want the command prompt at all after the installer is started. Just give an exit command at the end of the batch file.

Lemme know if it works.

If this wrapper program is a windows prg then you can try to use the CALL or START commands to activate it AND THEN use the above link's info for your purposes.
