If you use WMI to retrieve the running processes, then you would have access to the Command Line that started the process. That is where I would star. You may also have to search the path for the first occurence of the file.

You can also get the path to the app by reading the registry. This won't give you all exe, but should give you a large majority.

hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\app paths\winword.exe (path)
