If i understand correctly, UniUWP_Install.exe and UniUWP_Uninstall.exe should be executed from game directory?

UniUWP_Launcher V2.exe is for what exactly?

as you see in the code attached ... the exes require to be in the same folder as appxmanifest.xml as it reads some info from it

Launcher v1 just executes the command o launch the game , base UWP game unsing register command only automatically creates desktop shotcut in start menu and UWP tiles cant be launched directly from exe
... so i just created exe that an launch it, where you can easily change icon and ;-)

Launcher v2(compared to v1) has some checks in place (aka if game is installed (then autoinstalls it) or if launcher is next to appxmanifrst.xml)

Why not only updating CIU to handle this type of games?
That would be very simple to everybody in FF!!!

yeah but thing is for each game you need to to know the exact commands .. that must be executed for install/uninstall/run
Thats why i created the launchers as the simplify things a lot.

Also there is a problem that you can get three types of UWP apps
- extracted (where you can reach appxmanifest and for which launchers are for)
- appx containers ... basically renamed zips ... requires to modifiy the scrips. Cant be automatized but appxmanifest is reacheable to get needed info, cant be installed outside of the WindowsApps folder
- eappx ... encryped appx , scrables filenames , unreachableappxmanifest ... honestly have no clue how to deal with those
