    WPF is Windows only, so you cannot run it on a Mac.

    To run a WPF app on a Mac, you need a Windows virtualization app. Typically Parallels or VMWare. Install the app in the vm and create an alias on the Mac side. Then your Maui app can start it via the alias.

    note: if M1/2 then the vm will be windows arm, and the WPF app must support running on windows arm.
