--this gets the path to Acrobat Reader:

tell application "Finder"
	set tAppPath to application file id "CARO" as text
end tell

You need the creator code of the application. ResEdit can show you that, as can Sherlock or Find File. For the latter two, display a search showing the creator code, and drag the app in question onto the dialog.
