copied!<p>Two years old, but for completeness...</p> <p><strong>Standard, inline approach:</strong> (i.e. behaviour you'd get when using <code>&</code> in Linux)</p> <pre><code>START /B CMD /C CALL "foo.bat" [args [...]] </code></pre> <p>Notes: 1. <code>CALL</code> is paired with the .bat file because that where it usually goes.. (i.e. This is just an extension to the <code>CMD /C CALL "foo.bat"</code> form to make it asynchronous. Usually, it's required to correctly get exit codes, but that's a non-issue here.); 2. Double quotes around the .bat file is only needed if the name contains spaces. (The name could be a path in which case there's more likelihood of that.). </p> <p><strong>If you don't want the output:</strong></p> <pre><code>START /B CMD /C CALL "foo.bat" [args [...]] >NUL 2>&1 </code></pre> <p><strong>If you want the bat to be run on an independent console:</strong> (i.e. another window)</p> <pre><code>START CMD /C CALL "foo.bat" [args [...]] </code></pre> <p><strong>If you want the other window to hang around afterwards:</strong></p> <pre><code>START CMD /K CALL "foo.bat" [args [...]] </code></pre> <p>Note: This is actually poor form unless you have users that specifically want to use the opened window as a normal console. If you just want the window to stick around in order to see the output, it's better off putting a <code>PAUSE</code> at the end of the bat file. Or even yet, add <code>^& PAUSE</code> after the command line:</p> <pre><code>START CMD /C CALL "foo.bat" [args [...]] ^& PAUSE </code></pre>
