Multiple executables in the same build folder? Launchers for multiple game modes?

Unity Engine
1

I have a game that works both in VR and non-VR.

I was wondering would it be possible to have two .exe files in the build directory that both launch the same game, but one of them starts the game with added parameter -vrmode none?

I would like to have the two executables available so users can select between launching in VR or non-VR gameplay.

Is this possible?

I know relative shortcuts are not supported on windows so I can not ship with a shortcut.

How can I ship my game with a VR and non-VR launcher?

if nothing else, can place small dummy exe there that calls the main exe with param.
(can make simple commandline executable with with Visual Studio)

First of all, please state you case here:

A while back I started campaigning to replace the simple display resolution dialog with the capability of creating a launcher sub-application. Like most games have nowadays. So please add your voice!

Second: more immediate solution is to ship your game with

  • a .bat file which can hold the same logic
  • a custom .exe written in any language and can launch your game, you can even write it in plain C# and in Visual Studio where your solution can have multiple projects if I remember correctly
