Hide winebrowser window?

Post by emendelson »

I use winebrowser.exe to run shell scripts in macOS. Is there a way to make winebrowser run "silently," without displaying a window? I can't find any documentation on line that indicates anything like a /HIDE or /MIN switch.

Thanks for any help with this.

It's not supposed to display a window. Can you get a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Apologies for wasting time and bandwidth. I realized that the problem is probably this: I'm running a DOS emulator called vDos; I call winebrowser.exe by running this command at the DOS command line:

cmd /c winebrowser.exe /path/to/an/application

This is what happens (screen recording):

The window is created by "cmd /c", not by winebrowser. I have to figure out how to hide that window in vDos. Meanwhile, apologies again for wasting everyone's time.

And to follow up, yes, the window was entirely my mistake. I forgot to use the vDos option that hides a "cmd /c" window. Apologies again for bandwidth-wasting.
