closing application window on powershell

[zuzuzu01]

Hello All,

I have this bit of code that opens a self made application and presses return.
I want to then close the application but I cannot get it to close. This is my code. Anyone help? Thanks.

PowerShell

C:\Users\App.exe $wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell; Sleep 3 $wshell.SendKeys(‘~’) $wshell.closemainwindow

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

C:\Users\App.exe $wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;   Sleep 3 $wshell.SendKeys(‘~’)   $wshell.closemainwindow

I would change line 1 to:

PowerShell

$proc = Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\App.exe" -PassThru

1	$proc = Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\App.exe" -PassThru

Then when you are done with your SendKeys you can:

PowerShell

$proc.Kill()

1	$proc.Kill()
