        openFileDialog.FilterIndex = 1;
        if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
             string path = openFileDialog.FileName;
             //This is where i want to run the application with the path the user choose in the string up here
           
             //This where i play the wav file

Try this:

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;

string tempPath = Path.Combine(@"D:\WavFile", Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path) + ".wav");
Process.Start(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Application\convert.exe", $"\"{path}\" \"{tempPath\"")).WaitForExit();
player.SoundLocation = tempPath;
player.Play();

This will start the conversion application and wait for it to exit.
