Feature Request: run game installers

[alterNERDtive]

I just found this project and decided trying it out (currently using Lutris).

One thing I immediately dearly missed was the ability to point the launcher at an installer (e.g. downloaded from GoG) and have it install and set up the game for me. As is I have to run the installer manually, then create the actual game shortcut in the launcher.

Unless I’m missing something :)

Hello there!

You can use the button "Run" to run installers inside the prefix. Once the game is installed, you set the game's executable on "Path".

If you need integration with these other launchers, Lutris or Heroic are better options for you.

That will always run in the default prefix, right?

This button will run inside the default prefix:

This button will run inside the specific prefix:

Ah. So setting up a game beforehand, then installing through its config will use said game’s prefix. Thanks!

If you prefer, you can run the installer outside the launcher and install it wherever you want, like this:

Then add the executable on Faugus Launcher.

I prefer the installer to not write random stuff into the registry (or other places) in a shared prefix :)

[Faugus]

Fair enough :)

I'm closing this as I'm not planning to integrate other launchers.
