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.
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.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
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.
