Launcher didn't open. And "'' is not recognized"

[AeroElectro]

Launcher didn't open at first. I had to manually change the line in ValorantLauncher.bat to correct path which for me is "C:\Games\Riot Games\Riot Client..."

Can you confirm if there is anything else that needs to be customized?

Also, after the above change, cmd pops up and stays stating: C:\Users\xxx\Documents\ValorantUltrawideHack> '' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Thanks, I'm just now realizing the encoding for the launcher should have been OEM rather than UTF8.

I updated the release so you should be able to download and try again now. I'll leave this open for now to make sure it worked.

The "not recognized" text is gone.

But now defender shows this message while installing: "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk." I had to bypass defender by clicking "More info" then "run anyways".

Also, not sure if known issue but I'll leave below:

1. Launcher still didn't open until manually edited the path (not a big deal but might need documentation).
2. CMD window has to be closed manually.
3. The new shortcut has no pink icon that is mentioned in readme.

The Microsoft Defender warning is most likely because a UAC prompt was added to the PowerShell script. I think now that I have solved the permissions issues, that is no longer required. I will do some testing and possibly remove that prompt if it isn't necessary. I'll be working on this issue in #3

• Good point on the launcher path. This needs to be dynamic. Same issue with the shortcut icon, it isn't a dynamic path to the exe. I opened a new issue for these here: #5
• CMD window closing automatically is fixed now

I'm going to close this issue now and I'll continue to work in #5
