how to run a program from the bash console


I am attempting to run a Windows program from the Bash console. I have attempted modifying my path in the .bash_profile file in my home directory with the following line:

PATH=/cygdrive/c/'Program Files'/'<program folder>'/<program executable>:$PATH
export PATH


This does not appear to work. Does anyone know how to do this?
