Considering that you have a Desktop application using Adobe AIR, not a Flash Player based application running on browser.

You can try the method openWithDefaultApplication

var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath('UserGuide/carrace(banjonborno).exe');

trace('file?', file.exists);

if (file.exists) file.openWithDefaultApplication();

  1. You cannot run .exe in Web apps (flash/Actionscript)

  2. You could use Adobe Air desktop app to run a process on the local machine http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/html/dev/WSb2ba3b1aad8a27b060d22f991220f00ad8a-8000.html
