The task of the Deus Ex launcher is to start the game. The Steam version of Deus Ex makes things complicated by not only requiring Steam to be running when Deus Ex is started, but it must actually be started from Steam. This causes problems for DXVetery. The author of the alternative Deus Ex launcher found at Kentie.net has given the DXVetery team permission to include his Deus Ex launcher in the DXVetery Setup. Thus, you no longer have to manually fiddle with files when trying out DXVetery with the Steam version of Deus Ex! :-)
To play DXVetery with the Steam version of Deus Ex, you need an additional Deus Ex launcher. Setup can now automatically install this launcher for you.
