Thread: Running a VBS script int C without command window

I have created an scientific calculator application and I have a VBS script that runs some of the files. I want to create a C program that runs that VBS script. I can do this pretty easily, however, a command window flashes before the application opens. This problem is very annoying.

So basically I need a short C (or C++) program that runs a VBS script without a command window popping up. I am on Windows 8 and my compiler is GCC/G++ under cygwin. Here is what I have now that DOES NOT work.

Code:

#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    ShellExecute( NULL, NULL, "StartUp.vbs", NULL, NULL, SW_HIDE);
    return 0;
}

With Visual Studio you can create a non console application which will not create a console window at all, but I'm not sure if cygwin supports the same functionality.

Where are you saying to put this at?
