Must be win32. You can always call win32api.ShellExecute if
you've got Mark Hammond's pythonwin installed. The parameters are
in order:
  the handle of the parent window (can be None)
  the filename of the executable as a string,
  the parameters to be passed to the executable as a string,
  the initial directory to run in as a string,
  the show command

Use win32con.SW_HIDE or 0 to run silent.
