What is this?
This is a set of things that allows you to launch SkyrimVR plus some mods that require external exe like mageVR by a single click inside the WMR to a 3d model of Alduin, this make more confortable to launch for example a setup whit SkyrimVR SKSEVR trought mod organizer 2 whit mage VR, by a single click inside the WMR home.

How is this done?
By a very hacky way, basically the alduin model is a UWP application(the windows store's type of application) that do a very simple things
first call the protocol startskyrim:
next closes itself
End
This will basically trigger whatever exe is bound in the windows register to startskyrim, then comes the next part of this thing, we create the startskyrim protocol and bind it to a exe, and add this to the windows register so when the UWP application calls it, executes that exe.
The exe im talking about is a exe generated whit a tool called Bat2Exe that allows you to transform a bat file to a exe, and the bat file that is being transformed is a bat file that basically launches skyrim VR and whatever else we need to launch for example in the scenario of "SkyrimVR SKSEVR trought mod organizer 2 whit mage VR" the bat would do this
1 START steamVR for WMR
2 wait 15 seconds to give time to steam to open itself in case it was closed
3 START MageVR
4 wait 10 seconds to give time for MageVR to start
5 START a lnk file that open SKSE for SkyrimVR trought mod organizer 2(the one you get when you ask MO2 to create a shortcut in the desktop)

This bat file would basically open that setup when executed, but science it would be better to be able to launch it from inside VR in the WMR Home, then we convert that bat to a exe, put the exe in a given location, bind the protocol startskyrim: to that exe in the protocol, install the UWP application, and place the UWP application inside the WMR home(it would appear as 3d model of alduin) when clicking that 3d model of alduin, it would load everything and in about 45 seconds you would be inside of SkyrimVR with mageVR loaded

What Contains this mod download?
The zip you download contain the UWP application, the certificate to be able to install the UWP application(windows store would not accept such a niche application, so i ended up having to self sign it, so you need to install my certificate to be able to install it), the reg file that when used would add all the needed entries to the Windows registry to bind startskyrim: to C:\VRapp\SkyrimVR.exe, and at last a example bat file for you to edit to add where you have the shortcuts to steamVR for WMR, mageVR and SKSEVR, if you have another setup edit the bat to your licking if you need help configuring the bat contact me and i will try to help you.
