@Shaik Babu Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

You cannot run/install the machine level 3rd party software in Azure App service, since App service runs in a sandbox environment, and it is not recommended.

App services are designed to build and host your web application using any of the programming languages like NET, .NET Core, Java, Ruby, Node.js, PHP, or Python.

If you want to install 3rd party which requires machine level access, I suggest you to use Azure Virtual Machine service to host your application.

For more information you refer to this documentation about why app service & its features and which compute service to host your application.

Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.

Answer 2

Hello there,

There is no way to install machine level software in Azure App Service. If you have a scenario where this is a requirement, you can look at using a Cloud Service or a VM instead.

You can download files into the app and run code from there. But the limitation is that it cannot write to any machine level location (registry or files). So if you try to run a typical installer, it has very little chance of working, unless all it does is copy files to a location of your choice (which you would pick to be within your app files).

Hope this resolves your Query !!
