How would you set the app just to either show a message or do nothing if it cannot find an application run though the Shell command?

Could it be an idea to try to trap it before Shell barfs, through for instance the [tt]File.Exists Method[/tt] of the System.IO namespace?
[tt]If File.Exists(strPath) Then
' shell your app
else
messagebox.show("your message")
end if
[/tt]
