Valorant Diskless Launcher

- First, install Valorant as usual and reboot after the installation complete. For this tutorial we will install the Valorant to drive I ( you can install Valorant to other drive such as C, D, E etc ).
- Make a new folder inside Valorant directory and rename it to "Localdata".
- Hold windows button (⊞ Win) and push R button, and type %localappdata%, then hit enter.
- Cut folder Riot Games and VALORANT and paste them into "Localdata" folder inside Valorant installation directory that we created earlier.
- Hold windows button (⊞ Win) and push R button, and type %ProgramData%, then hit enter.
- Cut folder Riot Games and paste it inside Valorant installation directory ( not inside "Localdata" folder ).
-  Hold windows button (⊞ Win) and push R button, and type %ProgramFiles%, then hit enter.
- Cut folder Riot Vanguard and paste it inside Valorant installation directory ( not inside "Localdata" folder ).

- Make a new text document inside Valorant directory and save it as batch file, then rename it to "Mklink Riot Folder.bat".
- Edit the "Mklink Riot Folder.bat" and copy these commands into the batch file. Then save it and run it once :

@echo off
mklink /J "C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard" "Riot Vanguard"
mklink /J "C:\ProgramData\Riot Games" "Riot Games"
mklink /J  "%LocalAppData%\Riot Games\" "LocalData\Riot Games"
mklink /J  "%LocalAppData%\VALORANT\" "LocalData\VALORANT"
exit

- Make a new text document inside Valorant directory and save it as batch file, then rename it to "Valorant_launcher.bat".
- Edit the "Valorant_launcher.bat" and copy these commands into the batch file.  This file will be the launcher for diskless client. Don't forget to save it.

@echo off
start "" "Riot Client\RiotClientServices.exe" --launch-product=valorant --launch-patchline=live
exit

- Super user / Super client one of your diskless client. Boot up the client and go to Valorant directory, Delete all files inside "Riot Vanguard" folder. Then run "Mklink Riot Folder.bat" in the client.
- Then Run "Valorant_launcher.bat", wait until the launcher finishes installing Riot Vanguard. After the installation complete, play the game until it tells you to reboot.
- After reboot, run "Valorant_launcher.bat" and play the game until you enter the game lobby / tutorial .
- Exit the game and shutdown the client. Then save the client's image.
