errr, no, you don't need to include the '.exe'. The command line will look for a file with the name specified anywhere on the path. If the file specified exists, and has an extension of either .exe, .bat, or .com the command line will run it. If the command works when you put the .exe and doesn't work if you don't add it, then something is weird.
