on default installations i find the following...

win9x   -> C:\windows\rundll32.exe
w2000   -> C:\WINNT\system32\rundll32.exe
vista   -> C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe
vista64 -> C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe

i don't have winME, winXP or winCE available to check... i may also not have the 
capitalization correct...

i'd say to assume (yeah, i know) that it is in $OS_HOME or $OS_HOME\system32 and 
check to see if it is in there... once found, execute as normal... how to 
determine what $OS_HOME is is another matter but it, too, should be easy enough 
to determine... i'm thinking of non-standard installations where someone might 
have used a custom directory instead of the default for the install of the OS... 
i know that i've had to do registry work on w2k machines that required a 
secondary install to another directory so the registry hives on the broken 
installation could be edited and fixed...

HTH ;)
