If you've got the Hello.exe running, but not returning, you could *MAYBE*
do :
<?php exec("Hello.exe &", $output, $error);?>
The & will put it into the background, even in Windoze, I think... If
not, figure out how Windows starts background tasks, and do that.
Or make Hello.exe actually be a tiny little program that forks off the
program you really want to use, and then returns.
Or... Lots of ways to try to force the OS to fork the process.
