# RunHiddenConsole

Created executable can be renamed to powershellw.exe or pwshw.exe (or any other console-flashing-window) 

and put next to the corresponding assembly. Calls to the added assembly will be sent to a new instance of 

the target assembly, which is explicitly started without creating a window. Thus these flashing windows 

should be avoided.

You can find all the magic in Programm.cs

## Logging

I have added a (cleaned up) copy of simple log (https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/585796/Simple-Log) for 

debugging puropse. When there is a crash in the tool you should find a log-file next to your *w.exe called 

*w.exe..log which contains some hopefully usefull messages.

If you need to change the log level of the tool, you can add a "*w.exe.config", and with the default values 

as seen in app.config in the repository. Then just update the LogLevel app-setting as you desire.

## Future Points

- Input stream from file and output stream to file, if requested.

	Please tell me how you would like to use this. It would probably require a config file alongside the assembly to configure which parameters define the inputs and outputs

- Windows Eventlog logging.

	Might be required by som orgs. But no complaints so far.
