My guess would be that you need to change the working directory to be the
directory where your other app is before you run it, as it's expecting some
files to be available that aren't. Try something like:
chdir ('c:\Program Files\My App') or die ("Unable to change directory.\n");
exec ('myapp.exe');
If you're lucky it might work... :-)
