any one willing to compile a small C++ program (uses VS2019, I think) 32-bit

[PoBoy]

I need the 32-bit version of run hidden

Should take just a minute or two, I think.

All source/project file are available. I don't have VS nor have I ever used it.

Anyone willing to compile it for me ? Note : I need the 32-bit exe. The 64-bit version is already available.

I made a request there, but not sure if it will be done.

Do you want the latest from git source code or do you want the latest released version 1.2 ?

I don't have VS will try downloading community edition or just VScode and let you know shortly...

1.2

Thanks.

Try this EXE -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JNV57he7Fyk6MI--16j8cmmR2eEiakV5/view?usp=drive_link

Let me know if it works and when I can remove this link, thanks!

1.2

Thanks.

Note the 32bit compile was failing for v1.2 and I had to change a setting from "Console" to "Windows" in the

.vcxproj

file under the Release/Win32 section:

<SubSystem>Windows</SubSystem>

.

Just saw that this fix is already in the master branch so later releases should not fail to build the 32 bit version.

I'll get home in the evening. I'll try it out. Thanks

Downloaded.
Tested on a 64-bit Windows works ok.
Will try on a 32-bit Windows soon.

Thanks so much.

In case anyone was wondering what I use it for, one example :
I use Powershell to generate file hashes, from the context menu.

If I don't have run-hidden I get an irritating flash of the Powershell console/window.

Another example : From the context menu for jpgs I strip EXIF metadata using exiftool.
Without run-hidden I wold get a command window showing briefly.

Spoiler: code for file hashes using Powershell
