What browser? Are you trying to do this inside a CGI?
If so, have you checked that:
1. the PATH environment variable contains the directory that
applname.exe lives in
2. you have permission to invoke the program
3. your web server is configured to let you invoke programs from CGI's
I assume you've tried this with the full name of the application in the
system
command, so (1) above would be already tried, but you might look at the
other two.
