The problem is not the too-fast closing of the window but its opening in the first place.

Thank you Marco! With this I see, that the error is clearly at run2_gpl.c at line 350ff: if (bUseMessageOnlyWorkaround) { if (!bHaveConsole) { AllocConsole (); bHaveConsole = TRUE; SetParent ((*GetConsoleWindowFP) (), HWND_MESSAGE); } } else if (!bHaveConsole) { bHaveConsole = run2_setup_invisible_console (); } For Windows 7 the bUseMessageOnlyWorkaround is always TRUE and as I do not have a Console Window yet the AllocConsole() function of Win32 API is called. This pops up a Console Window. A DOS-BOX. And there is no help to this. Windows 7 just goes on, fires up a Window and places a cmd-prompt inside it. Right in your face. :( If I comment this line with // AllocConsole (); then my scripts do work as expected: No DOS-BOX window pops up. Yeee! Though stdout, stderr might be messy then. I might run in other troubles, since there's a reason for this call. But so far this ok for me (yet).
