How to run a non UWP app in Kiosk mode in W10 ?

I would like to know if there was a way to run a non UWP app in Kiosk mode. In fact in order to run a kiosk mode I created a advanced provisioning package, that creates a user and use a XML file to configure the session. The XML file I used is the template given by Microsoft when it comes to configure a Kiosk mode : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/kiosk-xml#kiosk-only-sample-xml (of course I changed the AUMID of the default app for the AUMID of the app I want to run in Kiosk mode)

There is no problem in the package's launch, the session is created and the package seems to be well launched when I go to settings. But when I try to connect to the session I have just created, I have this error : "We weren't able to start your app. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to sign out or contact your system admin. For more information, search online for error code: 0x80070057"

Do you have any idea of what this error means ? If the method I used is not right please let me know.

Thanks
