How to set up launcher installer name
How it works
The launcher installer files are named installer.exe for the standalone version and web_installer.exe for the web version by default. You can set your own name in the code of your website. When a user clicks the download button or link, the browser automatically replaces the name of the installation file.
How to get it
- Add an invisible iframe to your website's code, inside of which a link to download the installation file with the modified name will be formed, as shown in the example below.
Example:
Copy
<body>
...
<script>
const frame = document.createElement("IFRAME");
frame.id = "xsolla-installer-renamer";
frame.src = `https://installer.launcher.xsolla.com/launcher-installer-renamer-prod/v1/renamer.html?cache=${Date.now()}`;
frame.style = "display: none";
document.body.append(frame);
</script>
...
<body>- Implement the
postMessage()method that passes parameters to the iframe when a link or button is clicked:<LINK TO INSTALLER>— the URL of the installation file. it in Publisher Account in the Launcher > Settings > Launcher Build section. Example:https://installer.launcher.xsolla.com/xlauncher-builds/xsolla-launcher-update/123456789/bin/web_installer.exe<NEW INSTALLER NAME>— the name of the installation file.
Example:
Copy
postMessage(
{
type: "download",
href: "<LINK TO INSTALLER>",
name: "<NEW INSTALLER NAME>",
},
"https://installer.launcher.xsolla.com"
)Below are examples of code for a download link and button to download the installation file.
Example code for a download link for the installation file:
Copy
<body>
...
<a
href="#"
onclick="document.getElementById('xsolla-installer-renamer').contentWindow.postMessage({ type: 'download', href: '<LINK TO INSTALLER>', name: '<NEW INSTALLER NAME>' }, 'https://installer.launcher.xsolla.com');"
>
Donwload
</a>
...
<body>Example code for a download button for the installation file:
Copy
<body>
...
<button id="button-download">Download</button>
<script>
const btn = document.getElementById("button-download");
btn.onclick = () => {
document
.getElementById("xsolla-installer-renamer")
.contentWindow.postMessage(
{
type: "download",
href: "<LINK TO INSTALLER>",
name: "<NEW INSTALLER NAME>",
},
"https://installer.launcher.xsolla.com"
);
};
</script>
