Hello,
I want to run my program in two ways. Clicking the .exe icon would launch the program and ask the user for a license agreement. The other way would be via a cmd.exe or a python script running the .exe that would not ask for the license agreement. How would I go about doing this? Here is the pseudocode

public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
         public MainWindow()
         {
              InitializeComponent();
              if(ran via cmd.exe)
               {
                  run program no EULA displayed
               }
               else
               {
                  Check for EULA
               }

              }

You never need to run CMD.EXE. If you need to run some external program, you can do it with System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. Please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/53ezey2s.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h6ak8zt5.aspx[^].

For the parameters, you need to pass the file name of the program to be executed itself (it can even be a batch file name), the second optional parameter could be the command line. See the documentation referenced above for more advanced options.
