  • please show some source code... what have you tried ? what exactly is not working ? – Yahia Nov 23 '12 at 20:48
  • Windows 8 apps aren't standard EXE files, so normal way of running external applications by Process.Start(...) doesn't work. I would like to open a discussion and meet your experience in this area, because I know that it isn't a trivial problem currently. – Viper Nov 23 '12 at 20:53

    Visual Studio 2010 does not support the .NET 4.5 Framework and thus are unable to develop against the WinRT library. This question needs a great more detail to make it less trivial then "can this be done" type question. – Security Hound Nov 24 '12 at 00:02
