Try the CreateProcess function instead.

The following is from the Win32 SDK:
...............
WinExec

Remarks

Win32-based applications should use the CreateProcess function rather than
this function. The WinExec function exists in Win32 to provide compatibility
with earlier versions of Windows. For more information about how the WinExec
function is implemented, see the Remarks section of the LoadModule function.
In Win32, the WinExec function returns when the started process calls the
GetMessage function or a time-out limit is reached. To avoid waiting for the
time out delay, call the GetMessage function as soon as possible in any
process started by a call to WinExec.
