ghostscript leaves windword processes

I'm using the ps2pdf.bat file that ghostscript provides through my
vb.net code to convert word documents to pdf.

After each conversion, a winword process is left runnning in the task
manager.

Anybody knows how to prevent this from happening?

Thanks in advance for your help

Ask the author of "ps2pdf.bat".

Does your code use Close and Dispose?

Mhm... The OP seems to call a batch file.

No because it's the batch file that starts the process.

I don't instantiate word in my code.
