Subject: Re: Winapp without console window

What you could do is...

1. Write a .bat file called "runnme" which has:

start ruby c:\path\to\ruby_script.rb

2. Create a symlink (shortcut, sorry) to the user's desktop.

3. Set the properties of runme.bat to "run-minimised"

That way it would be hidden.
