Link (or patch) the PE header as a GUI app. The field is 1 for a console
DOS box, 2 for a DLL and 3 for a GUI.
WORD
Subsystem
An enum value indicating what subsystem (user interface type) the
executable expects. This field is only important for EXEs. Important
values include: IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_NATIVE // Image doesn't require a
subsystem IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_GUI // Use the Windows GUI
IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_CUI // Run as a console mode application
// When run, the OS creates a console
// window for it, and provides stdin,
// stdout, and stderr file handles
It's probably marked as CUI.
