Steam Hearthstone Script

This document contains code to launch the Hearthstone game client through its launcher. It first checks if it needs to elevate privileges, and if so it copies the launcher path and command line to a temporary file. It then waits for the elevated script to finish launching the client before cleaning up and exiting.
