ah yes, I remember when I made that :) it was for been able to run CI on windows… and I remember I told Christophe “let’s do this crap until we find a real solution”. That was like 4yrs ago :P So, I still does not have a real solution because GetStdHandle funtion in windows does not work for non console apps. Maybe we could solve this redirecting the outputs (SetStdHandle)? I’m not a windows user and I don’t really know deeply this stuff, but I’d gladly accept any contribution to fix this issue (or at least to fix OSProcess).
