actxserver for a newly installed Program.exe

I have installed a program.exe in my windows-8 system. Now I want to create a MATLAB GUI and run this program.exe within the GUI figure window. It looks to me that I will have to make use of actxserver facility as actxcontrol does not support exe

I am also given to understand that a local out-of-process server is a component implemented as an executable (EXE) file that runs in a separate process from the client application.

Now, to create an instance of a COM object, I need its programmatic identifier, or ProgID. The ProgID is a unique string defined by the component vendor to identify the COM object. You obtain a ProgID from your vendor documentation. But I do not know where to get it from.

I have two questions

1. What to do to get ProgID of all the installed exe files?

2. How do I have my MATLAB GUI play an exe file within it?

Ahmad, as I commented in that other activex post, you'll be better off starting a question of your own where you show:

• the code you have written that is causing problem,
• a thorough description of the problem with the exact error message that you get if an error occurs.
