Vista - PSScriptRunner - run a PS script with no window flashing on screen

www.databatcher.com/freestuff/PSScriptRunner.zip

From the Readme:-

PSScriptRunner

This ultra-simple Windows GUI application will run PowerShell.exe in such a
way that the PowerShell window is not shown on screen. Although a GUI
application, no window is created. This application is of use when you want
to run a PowerShell script without any interactivity, and without any window
flashing up on screen briefly (which can be annoying).

The app launches PowerShell in a separate process and then quits. Having a
windowless GUI application is actually better than creating a console
application, which will currently always cause a Cmd.exe window to be created.

The arguments on the command line of this application are based straight
through to PowerShell.exe.

Requires Windows PowerShell RC2 or later. Also requires .NET 2.0.

Please look at Program.cs before running, and check that you are happy with
what this application does.

The actual executable file is called "PSScriptRunner.exe", and it's in the
\bin\Release subfolder (ignore "PSScriptRunner.vshost.exe").

BTW: if the app is unable to run PowerShell for any reason, it will append
an error message to "PowerShellScriptLauncherNoWindow_Errors.txt" in your
My Documents folder.

Use at your own peril. No warranties made or implied. Your mileage may vary.
and so on...

Enjoy!
