running a batch file or taskkill silently

I have a wise script to install an app.
In the Wise Script, I kill certain tasks if they are open.

I use as the command line taskkill.exe to kill those processes.

When I run the Wise Script, the install is basically silent, except for the dos command window that appears to show that certain tasks are being killed.

Is there any way I can hide that dos window to show up?

I have tried creating a batch file and using @ ECHO OFF but that did not work, I have also tried running the output of that file to >nul , still one command window does appear.

Thanks

Have you looked into doing the same task written in VBScript utilising WMI to kill the process(es) you want?

By using VBScript you could have a completely silent way of killing those process(es).

I'm no Wisescript expert, but I'm assuming you're using the "Execute program" action to run "taskkill.exe"?

If so, isn't there a hidden "Window Size" option?
