Better OpenAsar Installer For Windows

This is just an improved install script for OpenAsar. Sometimes when Discord updates, OpenAsar doesn't stay installed and you need to re-run the installer.
But then the intaller you have is for the old version.
This fixes that and also makes it work for all Discord versions.

Demo

TLDW

  1. Show a little animation
  2. Pick the Discord version
  3. Confirm the info
  4. Install
  5. Done!

If there's any issues, the installer will give you a nice error message which an be used to quickly debug where things went wrong.

Misc

  • No, Ducko doesn't want to use this script as the main Windows script.
  • Please also check out some of my other projects at GreenMan36.github.io or github.com/GreenMan36.
  • My OpenAsar supported Discord themes: Discord
