ProgIDs are the human-readable equivalent of Microsoft [COM] [CLSID] values. There is a Win32 API to convert 
from one to the other (ProgIDFromCLSID). ProgIDs are what you pass to scripting applications to create
COM objects. 

Is this the "application name" [tcom] needs? Yes.

Example values:

InternetExplorer.Application

 package require tcom
 set ie [tcom::ref createobject "InternetExplorer.Application"]
 $ie Visible 1
 $ie Navigate http://www.tcl.tk/
