There should be an action called ""Start Process"". You would need to put the path of the executable and it should open it up. If you don't find it in Utility - General, check in the others. But it's not best practice to open an application without creating the object.  Wed, 18 Apr 2018 19:15:00 GMT https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/How-do-I-launch-an-application-without-creating-a-new/m-p/73652#M26257 Anonymous 2018-04-18T19:15:00Z
