Goodnight !
I'm creating an app for Windows in which I need to open an executable file that is installed on the computer, but I have no idea how to do this. Could you help me please?
Thank you very much
Export to NW.js or Windows (WebView2).
Consider reading the fabulous manual.

In this case, it would be to open the exe using a button during the game and not export the project.
Oh I see. I don't think you can run another executable from your project. That sounds like it would be a huge security issue.

You can, at least with nwjs!
You add the nwjs plugin to your project, then can use 2 different actions, "Run file" or "Shell open".
Note, you must export with nwjs to test this, or use the remote preview tool to avoid having to export (this tool can be found here: construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/construct-nw-js-desktop-app-131317 )
