you are using the dde package (Docu: This command allows an application to send Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) command when running under Microsoft Windows).

As I recall every Windows system comes with the ie - where's the problem?

using a different browser might work by 'exec firefox.exe $FilePath' (replace path to firefox executable ...)
