Need some further clarification on this one if Marcus' comment did not help.  Are you wanting to run this from the Desktop Client only or also from Publisher?  If just the Desktop, the key is to enable the execute option, which you can do in the Script editor of the QVW in question, go to the Settings tab in the Script Editor and check the Can Execute External Programs check box, that will allow the Execute function call in the script:

That should cover everything I believe.  Shout if you have further questions, or I have misunderstood the question.
