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

[Xavi de Blas]

Hello, i'm doing it with installjammer app. It locates mono
installation reading the windows registry and then it writes in a file
where it is.

And then the bat reads that file.

Now that i will kill the .bat, i will put the mono path on the start
up menu and desktop icon all using the installjammer.

if you want to see how it works (still without the bat) download
chronojump for windows:

http://www.gnome.org/projects/chronojump/installation.html
(it's 70MB because it contains Mono)

bye
