VBScript for quietly launching a Terminator window in WSL with VcXsrv. Code comments link to the guides I referenced while writing the script.

set shell = WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")

if not IsProcessRunning("vcxsrv.exe") then
	shell.shellExecute "vcxsrv.exe", ":0 -ac -terminate -lesspointer -multiwindow -clipboard -wgl -dpi auto", "C:\Program Files\VcXsrv\", "", 0
end if
shell.ShellExecute "bash", "-c -l ""DISPLAY=:0 terminator""", "", "open", 0

@zoloholic thanks for the contribution, you should also share your version on this topic's main thread over here.

Edit: nevermind, I see you already did this 😅. You may want to try reformatting with the three-tilde, however, like I did on your above post (I don't have control over the main thread, so you'd have to edit it there).
