@dz0ny Hey, I just updated the original gist. For simplicity I added a VBScript. On double-click it will open a command prompt (in minimized window mode) and executes the command to start the Leapcast executable.

For those interested or in case you want to add it to your fork (and because I wasn't able to find an option to send a pull request for forked gists!?), I'm leaving the permalink here: https://gist.github.com/eyecatchup/6219118#file-start-leapcast-vbs

Cheers

PS: Thanks for Leapcast! ;-)
