So i found

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()

But, then i want to close app which started it (it’s needed for me to launcher connect to server, launch game and close itself) so it doesn’t work.
My app:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    Process.Start("xnagame.exe", "12345678");
    this.Close();
}

    Name the process so you have a handle to close it. Not all processes close gracefully.

         try
         {
            Process myProcess;
            myProcess = Process.Start("Notepad.exe");
            // Display physical memory usage 5 times at intervals of 2 seconds.
            for (int i = 0;i < 5; i++)
            {
               if (!myProcess.HasExited)
               {
                   // Discard cached information about the process.
                   myProcess.Refresh();
                   // Print working set to console.
                   Console.WriteLine("Physical Memory Usage: " 
                                        + myProcess.WorkingSet.ToString());
                   // Wait 2 seconds.
                   Thread.Sleep(2000);
               }
               else {
                   break;
               } 
            }
    
            // Close process by sending a close message to its main window.
            myProcess.CloseMainWindow();
            // Free resources associated with process.
            myProcess.Close();
    
         }
         catch(Exception e)
         {
            Console.WriteLine("The following exception was raised: ");
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
         }
