Unable to hide Full UI after upgrading from 7 to 9

I am using TestComplete 9.20, just recently upgraded from 7. In 7, when the test was run with the command line options, it would not load the full Test Complete UI, I would just get a message saying it was loading the project file, then the mini-ui in the corner during the running of the test. Now, with the same command line parameters, it always launches the full dev UI. Here is the command line:



"C:\Program Files\SmartBear\TestComplete 9\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "C:\Program Files\Work\Certification\Interface Client\TC\tc_interfaces\tc_interfaces.pjs" /r /p:ws_main /u:ws_dispatcher /rt:Main /SilentMode /ns /exit



I tried changing a couple of the parameters with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I don't want the full TC interface to display every time.

    I made the change you specified, and that does minimize the UI when running the test. However, it does still load the full UI, which it did not do in 7. Is there no way to prevent the full dev UI from loading and keeping the behavior from v7?

    Maybe you were using not TestComplete but TestExecute to run your tests?

    TestExecute has only tray icon with context menu and no other UI.

    The command line has not changed other than the path; it has always pointed to TestComplete.exe, not TestExecute. However, I suppose it is possible that version 7 ran just Test Execute when it was launched in that way, and v9 is not.
