Isn't that what rubyw is for?  I think if you run "rubyw.exe yourscript.rb" 
it'll run without a console.  Not sure how you're starting your app -- e.g. 
from scheduler just use the above command as the command line to start it.  
With user intervention create a shortcut with the above command as the target, 
etc.   Either way your script should run without creating a window.
