Not with ShellExecute().  Maybe with ShellExecuteEx(), I'm not sure.
Otherwise, you would have to invoke the appropriate executable directly,
such as via CreateProcess().  Using ShellExecute() with the "open" verb, it
will return SE_ERR_NOASSOC if there is no "open" verb registered for the
file type, thus you can can then display your own dialog asking the user for
the needed executable and then launch it directly.
