True, but I think for `TeX-view-program-list-builtin' it is the only way
to assume that the binary is in the PATH.

You can use `TeX-view-program-list' if you don't have SumatraPDF in the
PATH and hardcode the path to the binary, e.g.:

(setq TeX-view-program-list
      '(("SumatraPDF"
         ("\"C:/Program Files (x86)/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe\" -reuse-instance 
%o"
          ...

Best, Arash
