Thanks!

All I wanted to say was that you mustn't use "Start" on Windows to start a
background job.

The windows scripting host does the correct thing, I have tested it and it
worked. Indeed, you need a post-commit.bat which calls
"wscript.exe post-commit.vbs" which includes something like this
-------
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run( "yourprogram.exe" & " "WScript.Arguments(0) & " " &
WScript.Arguments(1))
-----------
The default is not to wait so you really need only this two lines pluse one
line in the .bat file :-)

If I only knew before ... ;-)
