Hi Ralf, the following code lets the Windows on screen keyboard appear (needed for applications used in desktop mode:
-- set the hideConsoleWindows to true # USE WINDOWS POWERSHELL set the itemDel to "\" put item 1 to -2 of $PSModulePath & "\powershell.exe" into tPowerShellPath set the shellCommand to tPowerShellPath get shell("start '" & $CommonProgramW6432 & "\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe'") -- Note the use of single and double quotes! Sorry for soliloquizing but I thought this could be useful for others too.
