OK, what seem wrong to me:

You have your "foo" application somewhere on the PATH. You start it by typing "foo" -> no '\' in the name -> x = x.Left(x.ReverseFind('/')) crashes.

Oops, sorry Embarassed

Well, then, when x.ReverseFind('/') fails, a path search, like your current implementation, must be done.

Or this is how OO.org does it:

guido@Sid:~$ cat /usr/bin/openoffice.org-2.0
#!/bin/sh
exec /etc/openoffice.org-2.0/program/soffice "$@"

I only suggest it, because I'm familiar with this method, and because it's portable across POSIX systems. I know, it is how ISPs deal with it, to make their software relocatable and distribution independent.
