Minor correction.  Detect the lack of a console, THEN add DETACHED_PROCESS:

    if (!CreateProcess(NULL, cmdLine, NULL, NULL, TRUE, CREATE_SUSPENDED |
(GetConsoleWindow() == NULL ? DETACHED_PROCESS : 0), NULL, NULL, &si, &pi))

That should allow standard input/output handles to function as expected
when there is a console.
