Try using the "start" command in the cmd shell.
For example, if your program's name is my_prgm.exe, you could launch
it in a new (shell) window by typing:
start my_prgm arg1 arg2
This command can also be used from within Vim to start an external
process and have Vim not wait for it to complete:
:silent !start my_prgm
