Now we should transform our code to use System.Diagnostics.Process

$Process = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process

$ProcessStartInfoParam = [ordered]@{
    Arguments              = ( "'"   ( $Arguments -join "', '" )   "'" )
    CreateNoWindow         = $False
    FileName               = 'powershell'
    WindowStyle            = 'Normal'
    LoadUserProfile        = $False
    UseShellExecute        = $False
}

$ProcessStartInfo = New-Object -TypeName 'System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo' -Property $ProcessStartInfoParam

$Process.StartInfo = $ProcessStartInfo
$StartResult = $Process.Start()

We have no script output and $StartResult is true. Also trying to remove '-Noexit' argument. I want to have new window with output like in first example.

CodePudding user response：

You are joining the arguments incorrectly. Command-line arguments must be separated by space and quoted using double-quotation marks. In your case you don't need quoting as the arguments don't contain whitespace.

Try this:

$ProcessStartInfoParam = [ordered]@{
    Arguments              = $Arguments -join ' '
    CreateNoWindow         = $False
    FileName               = 'powershell'
    WindowStyle            = 'Normal'
    LoadUserProfile        = $False
    UseShellExecute        = $False
}
