I had a similar issue when attempting to start a process without showing the console window. I tested with several different combinations of property values until I found one that exhibited the behavior I wanted.

Here is a page detailing why the UseShellExecute property must be set to false.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.processstartinfo.createnowindow.aspx

Under Remarks section on page:

If the UseShellExecute property is true or the UserName and Password properties are not null, the CreateNoWindow property value is ignored and a new window is created.

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = fullPath;
startInfo.Arguments = args;
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
startInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

Process processTemp = new Process();
processTemp.StartInfo = startInfo;
processTemp.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
try
{
    processTemp.Start();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    throw;
}
