[Feature Request]: replace invisible.vbs with run-hidden #465

Closed andreasbrett closed 1 month ago

The request

Microsoft officially announced last month that VBS will be deprecated in the future. No deadlines or time frames were mentioned. Nevertheless since invisible.vbs is merely used for spawning a powershell.exe process in a hidden fashion, it should be easy to migrate to another workaround before Microsoft decides to kill off VBS.

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/3028 mentions a C++ implementation. You can find it here: https://github.com/stax76/run-hidden. It would be a great drop-in replacement. License allows deploying WAU with the run-hidden binary. Of course using an external binary might trigger some AV/EDR tools and is worse than using embedded OS tools. VirusTotal result is 1/72.
