Overview

LANCommander supports the use of install scripts for handling anything after the download and extraction of a game on a client machine. Common uses for install scripts include importing registry keys, updating configs, and templating file structures. Like all client-side scripts with LANCommander, these are essentially PowerShell scripts that are executed post-extraction.

Here are some examples of some post-install actions you may want to consider:

Import/create registry keys necessary for game execution
Automatic detection and config update to support the resolution of the primary display
Scaffolding save game file structures in the user's profile directory
Automatic installation of dependencies such as a redistributable

Note: After the extraction of the game is complete and the install script has been executed, the LANCommander Playnite extension will automatically execute any name change script

For a list of documented install scripts, see Category:Games With Install Scripts.
