Call WinAPI?

[Scott Rossi]

I have a MetaCard stack that launches a client's installer 
(InstallShield).  The client wants to me to determine if I can hide the 
decompress progressbar of their installer using my MetaCard stack.  I 
was asked by the programmer of the client to see if I can get MetaCard 
to "call WinAPI to launch our setup" and "use Shell32.ShellExecute with 
SW_SHOWMINIMIZED" to hide the progress bar.

Anyone know if the above can be translated into a command/script that I 
can issue from MC?

Thanks & Regards,
