Standalone Executable
No DLL hell. LaunchBoost runs as a completely separate process (patch.exe), meaning it can update your main executable without file locking issues.
CLI Overrides
Pass arguments at runtime to force configurations. Ex: -server=1 forces the client to use a specific mirror, or -silent hides the UI entirely.
Agnostic Integration
Communication happens over local TCP sockets. Build your UI in Electron, Qt, ImGui, or WinForms. We just send the data; you draw the pixels.

Embedded & Headless.
Total UI Control.

LaunchBoost operates as a silent background service that communicates with your main application via a **TCP Pipeline**.

Silent Mode

Run patch.exe -silent to hide all windows.

Pipe Stream

Format: CMD|VAL|MSG. Easy to parse.

Lifecycle Events

Receive signal READY_TO_SWAP when done.

YOUR APP (Electron/WPF)
// Listening to localhost socket…
if (msg.startsWith(“PROGRESS”)) {
  updateProgressBar(msg.split(“|”)[1]);
}
Updating core.dll…54%
// LaunchBoost Service Output
> PROGRESS|54|core.dll
> SPEED|12MB|s

The Infrastructure You Need

Why build an updater from scratch? We solved the hard parts.

Atomic Swapping
We download updates to a staging buffer. Files are only swapped when 100% verified.
Smart Hash Verification
We scan every file byte-for-byte against our server manifest to ensure 100% integrity.
Code Signing Ready
Compatible with EV Certificates. The patcher respects your signed binaries and ensures trust.
Bootstrap & Relaunch
Need to update the main executable? The patcher signals close, swaps the `.exe`, and re-launches.
Install Prerequisites
Configure VC++, .NET, or WebView2 in our dashboard and we install them silently.
Enterprise Security
Protect your IP. Our engine can detect tampering and force a repair before the app launches.

Multi-Server Redundancy

LaunchBoost supports defining multiple download mirrors in your dashboard. The client automatically tests latency and selects the fastest node for the user.

If a server times out (5xx error) during a download, the client seamlessly switches to the next available mirror without restarting the update.

The “Seamless” Workflow

How your app stays updated without annoying the user.

Step 1
Background Check
LaunchBoost checks for updates silently while your app runs.
Step 2
Staged Download
Files are downloaded to a temp folder. Zero file locking.
Step 3
Signal & Close
Patcher signals your app to close via TCP. App saves state.
Step 4
Atomic Swap
Files are swapped instantly. Postreqs installed. App relaunched.

Stop writing updaters.

Integrate LaunchBoost into your application today and get enterprise-grade patching, security, and telemetry out of the box.
