Lunch any of the Programs from a Macro Pad / Keyboard

[Chris_Blackpaw]

Hallo,

I picked up a Loupedeck a day ago and i have been wondering how to lunch any of the programs as a run command.
Since they switched to the "Windows internal" app system it seems a little bit difficult.
The Loupedeck software allows the user to access the WindowsApp folder.
That is how on of the paths looks like: "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\SerifEuropeLtd.AffinityDesigner2_2.1.0.1799_x64__3cqzy0nppv2rt\App\Designer.exe"
But nothing happens~ is there a start up parameter missing or something?

Greetings, Chris~

Hi Chris_Blackpaw,

As far as I can see it should work fine however this might just be a limitation of the MSIX version of the apps. I would recommend trying this with the MSIEXE builds found using the below link.

Thanks

You can also tryout if the aflaunch.exe utility would be usable here in such cases ...

Thanks a lot guys!
Both answers are really helpful!

Going to try the .bat file but might end up switching to the other install.

Have a good one guys!
