Why gflags doesn't start, it splashes and exits immediatly when I start it

Question

When I run gflags on windows 7, it should come up with UI but it doesn't. I see a brief black command window which then exits and gflags UI never comes up. It probably work from command prompt but I really want to work with it through UI.

Answer 1

This answer is probably irrelevent but since this post turned out in active list and i remembered that andy luhrs from windbg team answered a similar query and provided a temporary workaround i decided to post the liink and content here from osronline lists
