Also, I can now confirm the legit version from a retail CD has the filename Ra2md.exe where only R is capital. For an Origin or FD copy I don't have access right now.

Please provide a good reason changing 5000000 to 5242880.

Let's check for every possible case then.

I assumed the size wouldn't be smaller, so I took the exact size of Steam's RA2MD.exe. However, I prefer an exact byte number, and 5 MiB is conveniently just smaller than 5,286,208 bytes.

The original 5000000 was selected because it was the median between a gamemd without HD icon and a gamemd with an HD icon. We should tolerate possible reduction of the file size so 5000000 is a good separator.


if not exist "%gameMdPath%" (
echo Error: gamemd.exe not found.
exit /b 2
)

for %%A in ("%gameMdPath%") do set "fileSize=%%~zA"

if defined fileSize (
if "%fileSize%" GEQ "%minSize%" (
echo Launching gamemd.exe
start "" "%gameMdPath%"
) else (
if exist "%ra2MdPath%" (
echo Launching RA2MD.exe
start "" "%ra2MdPath%"
) else (
echo RA2MD.exe not found. Launching gamemd.exe instead.
start "" "%gameMdPath%"
)
)

The original ra2mdlauncher passes through all parameters into the final exe (e.g., -SPEEDCONTROL etc), providing a seamless replacement. Your script does not pass through parameters.

echo Error: Unable to determine the size of gamemd.exe.
exit /b 3
