Silverlight runs in a closed environment (aka sandbox). I dont think MS would allow users inside that sandbox to open executables on the client machine. In other words, security forbids SL to open executables on the client. Imagine you opening "format" (which is actually .com but hey, for the sake of the argument) on the client....
