If you're using c# you could check out hactoolnet, a hactool clone written in c#. Maybe you could customize a build to suit your needs (eg. no output), or even incorporate the relevant code into your app if you felt fancy.

It would probably be faster just to mod hactool source code and add a switch to disable the output. I forgot all about hactoolnet tbh, I'll check it later once I have more time to mess about with it.
@hippy dave
I had a look at hactoolnet and it seems much faster than hactool, you can see the difference if you extract a file, I'll use fw14.1.2 as an example.
Make a folder called Temp to extract the files, in the same place you have hactool and hactoolnet
In a command prompt type this:
You can see the difference in speed, hactoolnet is faster. So I might switch the program to use that to gain the speed increase.

yeah, it's a false positive, you can test the exe with real antivirus and will find NOTHING Micrsoft is know for lots of false positives and errors. and for try to sink the little developer with horror messages to recently created programs and for programmers what not pay to them, if you pay 15.000 USD to Microsoft your program (even if is malware) windows nor defender will show any message.

as you see, beside the Microsoft owned and subidiary antivirus, the rest do not detect any malware:

I think a virus only shows up on a database once it's signature is known and then it's added. A lot of people put the virus is a non standard packed file to hide this. It usually won't show up as a virus until it's reported to these Antivirus vendors and then gets added to their database.
Still, I plan on releasing all the code for this app - so if people are worried they can check the github, install visual studio 2022 and compile/mod or do whatever to the code they want, personally I look forward to seeing what people can come up with and improvements that they make. It should be on github next week for those that want to mess about with it.
Not true, I've written and compiled a few programs on my computer and had to stop defender from trying to delete them. It's annoying sometimes.
I was about to write that same.
for your reference, Microsoft defender block sometimes Sysinternal files what are a set of tools BY MICROSOFT!! defender sometimes blocks Microsoft files!!

It's because it "hooks" Windows Defender goes nuts

How does hactoolnet deal with nso?
In hactool if we have options on how to deal with nso files:
NSO0 options:
--uncompressed=f Specify file path for saving uncompressed NSO0.
So we can unpack a file like this:
hactool -t nso main --uncompressed=main_dec
Hactoolnet doesn't have an option that I can see for dealing with these nso files - or am I missing something?

Here you go, I implemented hactoolnet into this for some speed. You still need hactool for unpacking nso as hactoolnet doesn't have this. The program will work without hacktoolnet in your tools folder but if it finds it, for most unpacking stuff it will use that as a priority.
Now why even bother with this.....?
Well for FS unpacking hactool was taking a long time because I couldn't figure out how to stop the output display from working in the background (this is easy to do in python or from cmd) , so the program generates a batch file and extracts with that as it's far faster. Now being as linux doesn't use batch scripts and uses bash instead - maybe it wouldn't work under wine, but if you have hactoolnet in your tools folder it will use that instead of making the batch file, so it should be compatible with linux if linux works with hactoolnet - which I think it does.
So summary - if you have hactoolnet, you can put it in your tools folder and it will get used. If you dont have it in your tools folder - hactool will be used for all the unpacking of files.
