is there a way in vb.net to open microsoft outlook without knowing the file path exactly?

different versions of outlook use different file locations, then you have to worry about the program files and program files(x86). is there a way to just launch outlook using the system.diagnostics.process.start(“..”) without the file path?

i dont want to have to test folders:

If Folder_Exists("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12") Then
If Folder_Exists("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11") Then

thanks

    As far as I know the Outlook exe directory should be on the system path. Shelling “Outlook” should start it.
