[Eric] Eric5.bat console window

[Victor Varvariuc]

I installed Python-2.7.1, PyQt-Py2.7-x86-gpl-4.8.3-1, eric4-4.4.12, and and
also could not start Eric without taking out 'start'.
Looks like it is because of Python several versions installed (maybe 'start'
uses some extension bindings and is trying to start Python3 for eric4?).
Anyway, i installed the same files on clean WinXp without having Python3
installed, at it worked is supposed.
Also i've got a message from a guy, who says it worked for him:
