In my experience, there are very few windows desktops locked down to the
extent that you can't embed a 'package' in an office document, when the
package refers to "cmd.exe", with any necessary paths etc.
Asusming you've got Office installed, give it a try.

This will work only if command prompt access is granted - guess clicking on
Control Panel/Add-Remove Application icon would be easier in case of
legitimate application ;-)

In case of remote test the most simple solution would be nmap's -A switch or
some other application fingerprinting tool. You can try also do some fuzzing
and see if you'll get any response. Secondly - because this is Windows
system - you might try to enumerate remotely running services or access
system/application logs remotely (considering you have credential or there
are no restriction on NULL session and ports 135-139 are not filtered.)
