How to exec a command in a new window?

I am trying to start a command line script (.bat file) using an exec task. It works properly but runs in the same window. Is there a way to fork a new window?

Try something like,

        <exec os="Windows 2000" dir="c:/java/" executable="cmd.exe">
            <arg line="/c start setup.bat"/>
        </exec>

The 'start' opens a new window. But ant won't exit until all windows 
created are closed.
