  • Configures udev and uinput for ControllerBuddy (only on Linux)
  • Downloads and installs the latest release of ControllerBuddy
  • If missing, creates the following shortcuts in the Start menu:
    • ControllerBuddy (launches ControllerBuddy with arguments: -autostart local -tray)
    • Update ControllerBuddy (performs the same steps as if you would run InstallControllerBuddy.sh)
    • Uninstall ControllerBuddy (removes ControllerBuddy by launching InstallControllerBuddy.sh uninstall)
  • Ensures you have the latest version of the official ControllerBuddy-Profiles installed into your user's Documents folder
  • Executes the Configure.ps1 scripts to configure your applications for usage with the official ControllerBuddy-Profiles (only on Windows)
  • Sets up ControllerBuddy-DCS-Integration if DCS World is present (only on Windows)
  • Stops ControllerBuddy when updating and restarts it later (with arguments: -autostart local -tray)
