Appacker doesn't work on linux, so iused window os But I get this error,. How can I run appacker in github workflow? What should I do to make it work?

Here: https://github.com/lazuee/neutralino-template/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml#L90-L93

In docs for Github Actions it says that it runs on Windows Server and the error message says the specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform but i don't think that Windows Server is in any way incompatible with exe's for normal Windows. Appacker is 32 bit application so it should run just fine on both 32 and 64 bit OS.
Could it be caused by false positive malware detection on the Github side? Maybe. Or perhaps it doesn't work because it's not a proper console application. I don't know enough about Github Actions or Windows Server to understand why it doesn't work in this case.

I should probably make a cross-platform and/or headless version of the app at some point.

Hi how can i let others use my packed exe? can you do it for free man? thank you

@DragonExodusz sure, it's free, just send your packed exe to others and they will be able to use it. However, there's an issue where sometimes antiviruses see packed apps as a malware and may block the download (i know Chrome can do that).
