Unfortunately that didn't work either. Adding CONFIG =+ windows adds the 
windows subsystem to the linker but it doesn't remove the console as 
seen below.

link /LIBPATH:"c:\Qt\shared_4.5.0\lib" /NOLOGO /DEBUG /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS 
"/MANIFESTDEPENDENCY:type='win32' 
name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' 
publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*' 
processorArchitecture='*'" /MANIFEST 
/MANIFESTFILE:"debug\CuClient.intermediate.manifest" /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE 
/OUT:..\qtbin\win32_debug\CuClient.exe 
@C:\Users\JD\AppData\Local\Temp\nm7A06.tmp

Adding CONFIG -= console to the pro file didn't remove and I even tried 
by adding it under project settings and still to no avail.

It seems that the problem is that since the last call is to 
subsystem:console that is what the linker does.

Cheers,
