The usual absolute fail safe thing is to give the full filepath to the
version you want to open. I think someone mentioned that already, but I
don't recall Michael saying he'd tried that.

(Maybe me, I do it all the time)

set XHelpAppPath to (path to "csrv" as Unicode text) & "Help Viewer"

tell application XHelpAppPath
launch
display dialog "Hello"
end tell

(as was mentioned, this does not work, I've got to supply "Help Viewer.app")

---------------
set XHelpAppPath to "" & (path to "csrv") & "Help Viewer.app"
tell application XHelpAppPath
launch
display dialog "Hello"
end tell

Sometimes when I run this script I get an "Invalid connection" error message but that's certainly not related to Michael's problem :-)

Or, is it?
