Invoke EXE from batch file *without* waiting

Question

How do I invoke an EXE from a batch file without having the latter waiting for the EXE to finish? Something like the Cygwin \'cygstart\'?

Answer 1

Use "start". Type "start /?" at a command prompt.

Answer 2

Just start foo.exe? You need to add /WAIT to make it pause.

Answer 3

put START /B before the command you want to run
