How to hide command prompt that appears during Windows installation?

I'm working with the K1000 and windows 7 clients. My issue is that when running managed installs that utilize a batch script (for example, a zipped file with the quicktime .MSIs and a batch file that runs each one silently) a blank command prompt will appear on the users screens for the duration of the install. This isn't a big deal for most users, but we'd like to try and hide this anyway (because there is always that one end user who manages to... yea... you know what I mean). Am I missing something obvious? Have any of you found a way to hide this?

I use  http://www.f2ko.de/programs.php?lang=en&pid=b2e  to get around this. From what I have heard this is a bug, and will be fixed.
