Launching a console application in a minimized window

[skipjam]

I have a custom action that launches a console app. Has anyone found a way to launch a console app in a minimized Window? I want to avoid writing a wrapper launcher if possible. TIA.

You can use "ShellExecuteEx" function in your custom actions. Please see this link for more details about this function:
