Not sure that I understand.  Is your point that because it includes Windows.h, it's a GUI application?
I was just following the docs here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679297%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Ok, understood.

[Bill Smith] 
Thanks for the suggestion but that doesn't work.  If I try to open a command prompt from a Cygwin shell (just type in "cmd"), I get the same behavior where I don't see the popup.  If I run "cygstart cmd.exe", then running the program from the command prompt will generate the popup.
