 Create .EXE file to launch a windows program?

Can I use VB to create a .EXE file that will launch a
Acrobat file in a
specific version of Acrobat reader all from a CD?

P.S. Please give an example

Thank you for any help,

Sure. The best way to launch the file in the procram associated with
PDF files (most likely Acrobat Reader) is to use the ShellExecute API
