Is it possible to open a unity .exe inside another unity .exe?

I have a series of VR apps for various clients. I'm tasked to create a unity touchscreen menu that allows our sales guy to touch an icon to launch any given VR app.

I know I could do this with scenes, but each app is its own project and some are very large. They also get tweaked at various times, so merging and updating all apps to a larger app would suuuck. Not to mention many collisions if projects were merged.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

 

You can start processes using built-in .NET framework methods:

Hi,

Apologies for hijacking this thread, but am I right in thinking that if an external .exe is launched from within a Unity game, once that .exe is exited the Unity game will carry on from where it left off?

If so, this could solve an unrelated issue, which I asked about earlier today.

 

Yes.
More precisely, Unity won't stop working when it launches another process. It just tells the OS to launch it and resumes its own thing.

 

Ooh, interesting. Thanks for the clarification FMark92
