Fix for the 'atloader.exe %LocalAppData%\[Application]\[Application].exe' Problem

[luldarkie]

When pasting in atloader.exe %LocalAppData%\osu!\osu!.exe or start atloader.exe %LocalAppData%\osu!\osu!.exe in shell or cmd prompt, you might have experienced an error message. I have found a fix: Paste your bitness version in the folder in osu! folder. Go to CMD or Shell, type start ,space, then drag atloader.exe into cmd or Shell. Then add another space and drag osu!.exe into cmd or shell. Click run and viola! I am currently in the process of setting it up but if I get it to work I will update this as soon as I can.

First, you don't need to copy over the binary, that's not how CLIs work. Second, what you're doing is essentially copying the actual absolute path of the osu! executable and atloader.exe into the command. That works, but why the hassle? You could just cd into the atloader folder, then run the command, which should work. If you don't know how to do that, open the folder containing atloader, hold shift and right-click, then select "Open command window here", then copy-paste the command in.

%LocalAppData%\osu!\osu!.exe is also the (kind of absolute) default path of osu. Again, it should work. The only way that doesn't work is you changed the install path on installation, in which case you can just copy the path (yes dragging the file into the window is copying the path into there too)

if you dont want to do this everytime, do it once, but before hitting enter, copy the full command out.

Create a .bat file with notepad, paste the command in, save it anywhere you like.

Now you can just double click the bat file to open.

I would consider this issue resolved, because it's not the program's problem, rather a user problem.

We might want to add clarification on the command having to be executed after cd-ing into the atloader folder too.
