The application must be in the active processes list (i.e. it must be running) in order
to send it a 'tell application'.
You only have to have the application running at compile time. The script will
store the location of the application and activate it if necessary when the script is run.

There are still about 10% of the machines that this script is running on that cannot find it without somebody pointing to it manually. Why does this happen, and what is the proper way to get around this?
