Extension name

Installation Status Updater

Bug Description

When I add more than two executable files to a game, if the first executable is missing, the game is marked as uninstalled, even if the second executable is present. I tried setting the second executable as a link and enabled the option to detect files marked as links that are installed, but it continues to be marked as uninstalled. The game is in the same installation folder; only the executables have their own separate subfolders.

Steps to Reproduce

Download both versions of the Sonic Horizons game from GameJolt.

Place them in Playnite as a single game and scan with Installation Status Updater.

Then place each game in its own subfolder within the Sonic Horizons folder.

Finally, delete the subfolder containing the executable files that is in first place, and the game will be marked as uninstalled.

Logs

There are no logs.

Screenshots

I will use Sonic Horizons as examples, including the 2022 stage demo and the 2023 Christmas version.
