On Windows?  You may not need to know where or what about the 
program.  On my Windows 2000, the shell (cmd.exe) allows a document 
with a known extension to be used as a command.  (This might be in 
the extended commands and not available on some Windows, I'm not 
sure.)  So, I'd try launch/shell(start...)/"open process" with 
simply the file name.

On Mac?  AppleScript?
