shellexecute

I have a very old program that I have no control over. It launches a filetype with its default application like this(I cannot modify this code):

LET Err (SHELL_EXECUTE 'open' (FIX_MESG '"{1}"' File_name) '' '')

^^The above code works, so long as that filetype isn't associated with ClickOnce.

The old program is 32 bit, the OS is Windows 7 64 bit. I can compile my clickonce program as anything, but none seem to work. (I've tried x84, x64 and anyCPU)

How can I make a 32 bit program use shell execute to launch a ClickOnce program on a 64bit OS?
