Is there any way to execute an application without waiting in batch file? I have tried the start command but it just creates a new command window.
This question is related to

If start can't find what it's looking for, it does what you describe.
Since what you're doing should work, it's very likely you're leaving out some quotes (or putting extras in).
I'm making a guess here, but your start invocation probably looks like this:
start "\Foo\Bar\Path with spaces in it\program.exe"
This will open a new console window, using “\Foo\Bar\Path with spaces in it\program.exe” as its title.
If you use start with something that is (or needs to be) surrounded by quotes, you need to put empty quotes as the first argument:
start "" "\Foo\Bar\Path with spaces in it\program.exe"
This is because start interprets the first quoted argument it finds as the window title for a new console window.
I used start /b for this instead of just start and it ran without a window for each command, so there was no waiting.
If your exe takes arguments,
start MyApp.exe -arg1 -arg2
