In that case, you may also want to avoid distracting the user with a 'Where
is "Outlook Express"?' dialog, which you should be able to do using the
Finder's 'application file id'. This works OMM:

---------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
set appRef to application file id "MSNM"
set {appPath, appName} to {appRef as string, appRef's name}
end tell
launch application appPath
tell application "Finder"
repeat until appName is in processes's name
end repeat
set process appName's visible to false
end tell
---------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, after appearing briefly in the background, OE should then be
hidden from view.
