Hi there, As mentioned in the FAQ, I also wasn't having luck with using pp --gui (WinXP, Strawberry Perl 5.12.3):
<quote from online FAQ> When searching for an answer to this myself, I found many references to using "exetype" ... it comes as a .bat with ActivePerl, or you can find an exetype.pl from several places. You run "exetype file.exe [WINDOWS|CONSOLE]". This worked, I think, but still did not achieve the desired result on my PAR executable. While the exe itself did not generate a console window, par.exe (which was invoked in my exe somewhere) DID generate a console window, with a titlebar saying "par.exe <strange-looking path to file in temp dir>", whereas before changing the console window title bar just displayed the path to my .exe. </quote> Out of desperation I additionally ran "exetype file.exe windows" (exetype.bat is included in Strawberry Perl now, too) on the file.exe in the Temp/par-user/cache-abcdef0123456789/file.exe once it gets created. Now there is no console window left! I'm not qualified enough to make the _fix_console() & _strip_console() functions from PAR/Packer.pm run on the parl-binary inside the par-pack-binary as well. Probably I just used the wrong terms? Anyways, would this be something worth to add? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Marc H. Thoben
