Overview

LANCommander supports the use of Detect Install scripts when installing redistributables. This type of script only serves the purpose to tell the launcher or SDK if a redistributable is already installed/available on the client's machine. These are useful to avoid installing the same redistributable that may be used for multiple games.

The result of a detect install script must be the setting of the variable $Return. This should be a boolean value and should equal $True or 1 if the redistributable is installed, and $False or 0 if it is not.

Example

This example script was written to detect the installation of DirectX:

$Exists = Test-Path "HKLM:\\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX"

if ($Exists -eq $True) {
    $Return = $True
} else {
    $Return = $False
}

Variables

When a detect install script is executed, the following variables are available within the script:

Name	Type	Description
`$Redistributable`	`LANCommander.SDK.Models.Redistributable`	The redistributable's data object
`$ServerAddress`	`string`	The source LANCommander server address
