Executing this variable on its own will open the users steam directory. The first one (BattleyePath) goes into the registry as far as I can get it to dig. Thanks to everyone for the help:įirst I declared 2 variables. So with the comments and tips you gave me (especially I managed to piece enough stuff together to solve my issue. It really should be you having posted the correct answer, not me. Thanks to who was really the one that allowed me to complete this. While it seems this code may be useful in arriving at the solution I'm looking for, I can only get the program to view the general steam directory at this time.Įdit: Solution posted at bottom. At this point I haven't discovered a way for that to translate into being able to execute the battleyearma3.exe from within that steam directory with the proper parameters. Or using this registry location for win圆4: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Valve\SteamĪnd then were to create a button using Process.Start that it would allow you to ultimately view the directory. "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Valve\Steam", "InstallPath", Nothing) They arrive at the conclusion that if you do (for winx32): Dim strSteamInstallPath as String = My.( exe and then execute it with the given parameters as I've done above?Įdit: Another thread similar to mine asks a similar question (how to view/get to the steam folder without hard coding it. TLDR: What is the easiest way to program an application to automatically find the install directory of a given. Any solutions or pointers to help solve this problem would be greatly appreciate. However, after researching for many hours, I cannot determine how to have the program automatically determine the install directory of the arma3batteye.exe and then execute it with all of the correct start parameters included. Process.Start("C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3battleye.exe", "2 1 -noSplash -skipIntro -useBE -noPause -world=empty -connect=192.99.36.80 -port=2505 Multi-Play Unifrom's pack") I've developed the code to connect the user to the server if they've installed Arma in the normal location: Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click exe used to launch the game) may be installed in different directories depending on where the user originally installed it. The problem that I am encountering, being the relatively new VB coder that I am, is that the Arma3battleye.exe directory (the. I am creating an application for an Arma 3 server that directly launches the game and connects the user to a specific server.
