First try whether the file and path is valid

"C:\Program Files\DAX Studio\DaxStudio.exe"

 

second step is to launch command prompt and paste "C:\Program Files\DAX Studio\DaxStudio.exe" and press enter. (Dummy step, just to make sure it is working)

 

last and final step is 

runas /netonly /user:abc "C:\Program Files\DAX Studio\DaxStudio.exe"

 

Note: .vsto is visual studio tools for office add-in file.
