I suppose if you wish to use the installed one you have in c:\program files, you could just use System.Diagnostics.Process to run command line apps - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.aspx

Passing parameters is easy too. There are plenty of examples here - http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/DipalChoksi/ShellCommandsInCS12032005042031AM/ShellCommandsInCS.aspx
