    hi all,

    tn messing about wasting some time.

    What it is when your run a DISM command I thought it would be nice to not have the command window show.
    after some searching I found you could call a.cmd from a .vbs which made the command window invisible.

    I have tested this on some .cmd's I have and it seems to work ok.

    I try to point this invisible.vbs at a DISM command and it does not work.

    My thinking is because the DISM command has to be run as admin.

    I have tried to find out how to tell the .vbs to run the .cmd as admin but I have failed and come up with nothing that works.

    My scripting skills are not very good, even though I do try I sort of end up looking at it the wrong way.:confused:

    So if one of you clever lot could give me a pointer or two that would be great..:cool:

    Thnaks :biggrin:

    Would the invisible.vbs have to be in the same DIR as the DIS .cmd ? ( think I tried this though ) :)

    sort of worked it out.

    Decided to make a nice little GUI to mount the install.wim using Autoplay Media Studio...

    Got it to mount an image without any command window.
    Show a message box saying "Please Wait DISM Is Mounting install.wim"
    When the image is mounted the first message box closes and a new message box tells me the image has bee mounted.
