I have a Python program which I compiled into a .exe file using PyInstaller. When you open the .exe, there should be no console, no command prompt or whatever. It should run the Python program in the background completely silently.
Is it possible to put something in the Python script so that it does not open a command prompt and executes silently?
Save this one line of text as file invisible.vbs:
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False
To run any program or batch file invisibly, use it like this:
wscript.exe "C:\Wherever\invisible.vbs" "C:\Some Other Place\MyBatchFile.bat"
To also be able to pass-on/relay a list of arguments use only two double quotes
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "" & WScript.Arguments(0) & "", 0, False
Example: Invisible.vbs "Kill.vbs ME.exe"
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """", 0, False To run any program or batch file invisibly, use it like this: wscript.exe "C:\Wherever\invisible.vbs" "C:\Some Other Place\MyBatchFile.bat" To also be able to pass-on/relay a list of arguments use only two double quotes CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "" & WScript.Arguments(0) & "", 0, False Example: Invisible.vbs "Kill.vbs ME.exe" I'll replace this as an answer.You can use the --noconsole option, if this doesn't work
change the spec file setting "console" to False.
Yes, on windows you can create a bat-file like this:
start /B your_file.exe
add this code to your app:
import ctypes
import os
import win32process
hwnd = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetConsoleWindow()
if hwnd != 0:
ctypes.windll.user32.ShowWindow(hwnd, 0)
ctypes.windll.kernel32.CloseHandle(hwnd)
_, pid = win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd)
os.system('taskkill /PID ' + str(pid) + ' /f')
start /B myfile.exe and I double clicked the .bat file, but it still opens a command prompt. I want it to be completely in the background. Is this possible?
