# Nitrox.Discovery

[![NuGet](https://img.shields.io/nuget/v/Nitrox.Discovery.MSBuild?label=Nitrox.Discovery.MSBuild&logo=NuGet)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Nitrox.Discovery.MSBuild)

Discovers the path to an installed game from a given game name. Supports the most popular game stores and on both Windows and Linux.

### Use with MSBuild (minimized setup)

```xml

     

        

    

    

    

    

        

            $(GameDir)\bin\MyGameDll.dll

        

    

```

> [!IMPORTANT]

> `Condition="'$(_NitroxDiscovery_TaskAssembly)' != ''"` is needed so Visual Studio can still load Nuget packages without requiring `DiscoverGame` task to exist!

#### These options are available for `DiscoverGame` task

### Recommended setup

```xml

    

        

        MY_GAME

    

    

        

    

    

    

        $(GameDir)\

    

    

    

    

    

        

            $(GameDir)bin\MyGameDll.dll

        

    

```

### You can append other references on a per project basis like this

```xml

    

        

            $(GameDir)bin\SomeOtherGameDll.dll

        

    

```
