The system exec command (in the communications palette) has an output terminal although I'm not sure whether this will work. You can try building you program as a DLL instead of an EXE, and run the DLL from LabVIEW.

You could recompile your program as a dll or as a CIN (lsb) and use the CIN node or the library fucntion node and run it that way. This will allow you to wire any inputs or outputs you needed. The library function (dll) would probably be easier since you wouldn't have to reformat any of your code.
