Close previously opened application

Using Javascript, I do this:

var file = File('C:/myapplication.exe');
file.execute();

It opens the application. After I open it, I need it closed. I use this:

file.close();

No luck. What am I doing wrong? I use this in a Photoshop script (jsx).

Not sure which versions are supported but you can

app.system("Taskkill /F /IM myapplication.exe");

This is of course windows only. If this does not work you can write Taskkill /F /IM myapplication.exe to a bat file and execute that file.

var bat = new File("C:/killmyapp.bat");
bat.open("w");
bat.writeln("Taskkill /F /IM myapplication.exe");
bat.close();
bat.execute();

This is basically same as terminating application from windows task manager.
