We understand the need to launch particular executables pre-patch and post-patch so you can define your own execution lists!
Define a thorough list of files to be executed pre-patch such as executable (exe) files or batch (bat) files.
Define a thorough list of files to be executed post-patch such as executable (exe) files or batch (bat) files.
We recognize that some developers may want to run a file or a series of executables before or after the patch process, it’s why we built a section to allow you to do just that. You can define a list of pre-executables and post-executables to run, this includes windows binaries such as executable files or batch files.
The power of our pre and post-executable file lists is, you don’t even have to run local files. You can use the registry to locate a specific file on the user’s computer and set that to launch, so everything can be static or dynamic… the choices are all yours!
Having the choice to run post-executables means you can ensure the user has the latest DX runtimes installed or other dependencies before the patching process completes.
You can optionally set a file check and if the file isn’t found on the user’s computer, you can trigger a base installation requirement thus invalidating the user’s installation and requesting that the base installer be downloaded and installed to the user’s computer.
