Run a batch file silentily in NSIS

I have a batch file that needs to vbe excecuted, I am currently executing it using 

Exec "$PLUGINSDIR\IISHelper.bat"

But while executing a black window is appearing which is not what is desired. I would like to run that batch file silently. So I tried 

Exec "start $PLUGINSDIR\IISHelper.bat /B"

But while this runs silently this doesn't have the elevated permission as it does for the installer.

The start would not be silent if it worked but it does not because start is not a program, it is a internal command in cmd.exe.

Use the nsExec plug-in (part of the default NSIS installation) to hide the console window.

nsExec::Exec '"$sysdir\cmd.exe" /c if 1==1 "$PLUGINSDIR\IISHelper.bat"'
Pop $0
