[Mono-list] how to call a mono graphical app on windows without a terminal being shown?

[Stéphane Zanoni]

Installer's don't normally know where Mono is installed, so having this
as part of a standard InstallShield deployment might be more difficult.

Has the idea of providing some sort of architecture specific bootstrap
process been discussed?

Hello,

Can't you make the start menu shortcut launch your app using mono?

"C:\<mono_install_location\bin\monow.exe"
"<path_to_chronojump>\chronojump.exe"

Thanks,
Jonathan
