Question

I used system() function to call certmgr.exe in my C code.
Once I start my executable, a command promt appears showing certificate successfully installed.

But I dont want the command promt to be opened. How to do that??

any other ways available to call the “exe’s” in C language..

thanks,,,

The easiest way to do this on Windows is to call ShellExecute. Pass SW_HIDE to make sure that no console window is shown.

You could alternatively use CreateProcess but it’s a little trickier to call. Use the CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag to suppress the console window.
