Default Running apps from inside excel

Greetings,
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this ...
With the following code, a powerpoint .pps slideshow will
open, run , close and return to excel, no problem:
Sub RunPowerpointShow()
Dim pwp As Object
Set pwp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
pwp.Visible = True
Set pwfile = pwp.presentations.Open
(FileName:="P:\test.pps")
pwfile.SlideShowSettings.Run
pwp.Quit
End Sub
I would like to be able to run Lotus ScreenCam files in a
similar manner. These can be created as .exe files which
do not require the user to have any ScreenCam software
installed. Could anyone advise on code required to run
ScreenCam file "P:\test.exe"
TIA
David
