The correct sentences are:

  • A/the dialogue should be launched. (It's not clear which article we should use in this case. Use a if you mean "one", "some kind of", "another" or use the if you refer to something mentioned before, some definite dialogue)
  • The file should be downloaded. (As far as I understand, you mean some definite file here)

In the sentences above we need to use should be + past participle because it is the grammar of the passive voice.
