I am using CreateProcess to create a cmd.exe process that is passed a parameter

  • 0

I am using CreateProcess to create a cmd.exe process that is passed a parameter that it executes and quits, this makes command prompt flash up on the screen.

I tried to avoid this by setting STARTUPINFO struct wShowWindow to SW_HIDE but this parameter seems to affect the calling window, not the window for the process that gets executed.

Is there anyway that you can use createprocess to launch a program that is hidden from view?

Also what is the proper winapi standard way to get enviroment variables?
