executing application file before syc

Post by tjblow »

What is the proper format to execute a powershell script when running an application before synchronization. I also do not want a powershell pop-up window to appear. have tried doing powershell with -windowstyle hidden and the powershell window still appears.

You can add "-windowstyle hidden" argument when start powershell.exe like the following:

The -hidden argument is what I used before and it did not give the desired results. Ending up writing a VBS wrapper script to execute powershell script from it to control powershell console window from displaying.

If vbs can not be executed directly, please try the methods in the following Article:

Run the script by the script host:
1. Application:
cscript.exe
Argument:
XXX.vbs
2. Application:
wscript.exe
Argument:
XXX.vbs

The wscript.exe with a on the argument line with the vbs script and arguments worked.

so final setup:
Application file: wscript.exe
Argument: //b {script.vbs} arg1 arg2 ....
Worked, script executed and NO windows came up now.
Thanks for the input.
