You can use exec Package that runs external commands, for example:

import "os/exec"

cmd := exec.Command("your_exe_file")
if err := cmd.Start(); err != nil{
    log.Fatal(err)
}

for more info https://golang.org/pkg/os/exec/

Read the Documentation Here: https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc

import "golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc"

and then use

func Run(name string, handler Handler) error

to start it.

There's a whole lot of other functions that will be useful to you on the page I linked, so you should definitely look at that.
