inno-setup

Why SW_HIDE does not hide console window during Inno Setup compilation?

Pre-processor instruction:

#expr Exec( \
    "powershell", "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File UpdateDatabaseVersionInfo.ps1", \
    SourcePath, SW_HIDE)

It works fine. But it shows a PowerShell window. But I passed SW_HIDE.

Can that be fixed?

Solution

  • SW_* values go to the fifth argument of the Exec function. Pass default non-zero value to the fourth "wait" argument:

    #expr Exec("powershell", "...", SourcePath, 1, SW_HIDE)
