Related to another question on Superuser, I'm trying to run a Metro based application from the command-line. According to a comment on my superuser question, I could maybe find an answear on a PowerShell command or script. I already tried but found anything on any internet reference about PowerShell and Windows 8...
So, there is some specific way/command to call and run a Metro-style application from a PowerShell command on Windows 8?

To execute the program, you need to use the ampersand (&) sign followed by the full path of the program. Another way to execute the program is to browse to that directory and run the program. and run the program name.
There is no direct way to do this but there are a couple indirect ways.
vsdebuglaunchnotify, which comes with Visual Studio, can be called from PowerShell.
You could create your own exe that uses IApplicationActivationManager.
If the app is associated with any file types you could launch an associated file.
