sucks big.
There is no cross compatibility at all between metro apps and desktop apps.
I'm trying many workarounds and none works x.x

once you start working on the metro environment it is like really restrictive.
I tried invoking functions directly from windows dlls as a workaround but didn't work...
there is 2 workarounds
1 uses html and javascript to launch the apps
the other one uses a host application that is always reading a file. the metro app changes the file and whent he host detects a change it launches the application
