How to prevent COM Server EXE to open Command Prompt window

Question

my question may be simple for you, but I have no experience about it. So, the problem is that I have a COM server and it is started from the context of another EXE, and I need to prevent this COM Server application to open a command prompt window, thanks in advance for your help.

If you have to source code for the server, change the linker's /MACHINE option. Project + Properties, Linker, System, SubSystem setting. And replace the main() function with WinMain().

If you don't have to source code then you could use

Editbin yourserver.exe /subsystem:Windows

from the Visual Studio Command prompt.

Create/compile the executable as GUI application, those do not get console by default.
