How to run console app with WshShell.Exec without console window?

Hello,

I want to execute console application with WshShell.Exec
method from HTA. However, during execution new console is
created and pops up before my application. Can I run console
process without console window with WshShell.Exec?

Note: I cannot use WshShell.Run since I need access to
process' stdout/stderr streams.

Thanks in advance
Alex

As far as I know, no.

An alternative approach is to run cmd.exe using WshShell.Run and
redirect stdout and stderr to temporary files.

I was afraid that this is the only option.

Thanks
