Hi, does this package supports creation of msi/exe installer on the non-windows systems?

And what is the main difference between it and grunt-electron-installer?

We currently build our package for prod. What we would like to do is to build our app for different environments and have different installs. I.e. "Product" and "Product UAT" as different installs/apps etc.

What is the discriminator in the package generator config that will differentiate applications?

First of all, I am new to electron. When I run this command: electron-installer-squirrel-windows ./releases/electron-letswrite-code-squirrel-win32-ia32
..this error show

I have no idea what happen..

I'm trying to create a windows installer while in the directory of my distributable windows build, built with electron-packager. While in that directory, I run electron-installer-squirrel-windows ., and get this console output. I am getting the error def.values.join is not a function

Forked from #6.

We need to provide clean error messages before we get to spawning binaries. For example, in #6 we need to cleanly indicate the problem is spaces in the package id cannot include whitespace. From the nuspec docs the package id is:

The unique identifier for the package. This is the package name that is shown when packages are listed using the Package Manager Console. These are also used when installing a package using the Install-Package command within the Package Manager Console. Package IDs may not contain any spaces or characters that are invalid in an URL. In general, they follow the same rules as .NET namespaces do. So Foo.Bar is a valid ID, Foo! and Foo Bar are not.

As well, we should make the app model should make the default conform to the spec.

Hi there

I've recently had an issue where the MSI has stopped being generated. Turns out it's the same issue as electron-archive#96. I've tested with a newer version of rcedit.exe and the problem goes away.

What are the thoughts on upgrading the files that are in vendor?

Nuget allows the ability to override the output version number. I just want to expose that here as well. Also, prerelease versions are supported so it would be nice to have those, too. Submitting a pull request shortly.

Here is full error
System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
Program successfully creates nupkg file. Then gives error while executing this command;

I am using Win7 64 Bit

Any idea?

setup_icon works for replacing the installer icon, but when you go to uninstall the program in Apps & Features, the icon used is the default electron one. Therefore you need to specify both setup_icon and icon_url

Hi, @imlucas, do you have in mind any backport of latest commits from grunt-electron-installer to your repo?
