So I have an external updater program I really need to be able to run. I use the "run file" command and whether I tell the Node Webkit plugin to run NodeWebkit.AppFolder & "Updater.exe" or just Updater.exe, it doesn't do anything.
I am having the same problem, Have you managed to find out the solution to the problem.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
I figured it out: if the game exe is in a folder whose directory structure contains any spaces, it doesn't work. This is definitely a bug. I'll report it in the proper section since I have an example of it ready to go.
Here is a silly example that just runs Notepad.
Uses latest 2 build r178.
If this works for you, and yours doesn't work, then post either a .capx or a picture of your events or no-one an help.
Not a bug, as manual states if spaces in filename, use double quotes.
But this is the NodeWebkit.AppFolder expression, if you put it in quotes, it'll read it as plain text, not an expression.
Update with a fix: (read Ashley's response, follow it exactly).
Seems pretty odd to me, but hey, it works like this.
