This is what you can do to get around your problem:
1) Open VS.NET & choose BLANK SOLUTION
2) Add a module to the project
3) Add references to SYSTEM & SYSTEM.WINDOWS.FORMS.DLL
4) Paste in the following code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Module Module1
Sub main()
Dim strStartupPath As String = Application.StartupPath
Dim strFileToRun As String = IO.Path.Combine(strStartupPath, "TestApp.exe")
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo(strFileToRun)
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
Process.Start(psi)
End Sub
End Module
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obviously, I have made it so that you put your console application that you want to run in the same directory as your BIN directory for this blank solution
Set your Task Scheduler to run the blank solution, which will run your application hidden.
I hope this helps
