During update execution, the launcher(?) copies the updater executable into your `UserPath/downloads` directory, where it is then ran. I'm assuming this is to work around a Windows limitation where you can't update the executable on disk, so it has to be ran from a location where it could "update" itself.

This is the regular retail patching mode, and it runs ffxivupdater64.exe in a hidden window that's just there for message processing. I'm not sure yet if ffxivupdater.exe is the one actually downloading the patch files yet. The launcher just reflects ffxivupdater's progress, and passes it along to the web form in the form of a json callback. You can set a breakpoint at 0x183278 (tested on the launcher ver 3/20/2022) and see that it first hits that area when updating. There is three seperate printf strings, which I'm guessing is the three "modes" of patch progress:

The second one appears to be the regular "downloading" patch mode, considering it says "downloadsize" right there.

The last one would appear to be when it's actually applying the patches, as it has "remaintime" as well as "speed".

It appears that ffxivlauncher.exe and ffxivupdater.exe is communicating exclusively through Win32 IPC (SendMessage). I haven't deciphered the actual messages yet, but here is a few interesting ones I've seen used:

The format is `{version:\"%s\",ID:%d}`. I'm guessing this means "install this patch", version obviously corresponds to the patch version, and maybe ID is the jumble of alphanumeric characters in the directory names of the ffxivpatch folder?
