You can create a hybrid batch/JScript file (i.e. a batch file able to run embedded JScript) where the JScript part will run another_prog in detached mode with shell.Run(prog, 0, false):

@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /* JScript comment
    rem put any batch code that runs before another_prog here
    @cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0" "another_prog" 0 false
    rem put any batch code that runs after another_prog here

    exit /b %errorlevel%
@if (@X)==(@Y) @end JScript comment */

var ARGS = WScript.Arguments;
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
shell.Run(ARGS.Item(0),ARGS.Item(1),ARGS.Item(2));`
