On a client machine or on the server ?

if you are thinking client machine there is no way !

anyway this is how you do it on the application's server 

        Var process = new Process();
        process.StartInfo.FileName = "Notepad.exe";//in your case full path with the application name
        process.StartInfo.Arguments = " ";//arguments 
        process.Start();

        // Do your magic here

        process.Kill();//Dont forget to kill it when you are done

Just start it like you'd start any normal EXE.

var proc = Process.Start(@"C:\myconsole.exe");

You should place the console EXE file at a proper place though.

And you can end it with:

proc.Kill();

...

Note: that starting the process on a single request might not be a good idea. It might be better to start it on another thread and lets it spin so you can response to your users faster.
