How to open Console App from MVC web application

Question

I have deployed MVC application in IIS, and from this MVC application i want to open console app. so that is not possible due to IIS security .

Now i have create one package installer add added console application exe in Application and decalared protocol of package and i have installed that package on my pc and i am able to see the protocol.

now in MVC controller i am writing code to open protocol

             Uri uri = new Uri("myprotocol:");
             var psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
            psi.UseShellExecute = true;
            psi.FileName = uri.ToString();
            Process.Start(psi);

but i am getting below exception -

System.Exception: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated
---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated

is there any solution on this.

if i replace console app to UWP that is working fine for me but i want Winform OR console App but in both not able to open from IIS.

i want Winform OR console App but in both not able to open from IIS.

It is NOT possible because IIS runs without a user interface. You can check if the Environment.UserInteractive Property in your web application.
