Use the below sequence:

1. Get files in folder

2. For Each Loop (this gives CurrentItem as the full file path and name)

3. Run Application (Use the CurrentItem coming from Step 2 in the Application Path). This will return a AppProcessID

4. Do all your processing with this file

5. Terminate Process using AppProcessID coming from Step 3

6. End of For Each loop

In line #2 it should be For Each CurrentItem in Files.

And your Run application and Terminate are so close to each other that the files will open and close within a fraction of a second invisibly.

Add a wait stage or do some processing there.
