Do I need a Windows service?

[Marinica]

I have to run an .exe file built with LV, using System Exec VI. I want the called application to run without front panel. In application builder there are no option to hide front panel.
How can I solve the problem? Can I create a windows service from the called .exe file that can be invoked from the main application using the System Exec VI? It will be invoked like any other .exe file?

did you check vi property/ window appearance/ custom and set transparency to 100%

?

also you can make run time position as minimize and prevent user to change it 
in vi property

Often if you run System Exec minimized, the program also runs minimized.

It seems as if set transparency at 100%, the VI is no longer visible to the user, especially since it is very short running.
