Hi @ramstein74, installing http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page should resolve that issue (it looks your on windows, so it should work fine). NSIS is used to generate the actual Windows installers.

Just an FYI, I recently overhauled the entire project. There's nothing truly wrong with the previous setup, but tried to simplify the build setup, added hot-reload support, and improved test execution. It's currently missing the functionality to generate installers, but I will be adding it back soon (once https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager stabilizes). It will use Squirrel rather NSIS.

i solved the NSIS but got this next error. It says Installer ready at the end but an error in line before... image any ideas?

What version of NSIS did you install? I believe only 3+ supports Unicode. You can simple comment out/remove L31 of resources/windows/installer.nsi as well if you don't need Unicode support.

It looks like it's failing to build a native dependency for some reason. It doesn't appear to be an issue with this project specifically, can you confirm other native packages compile without issue on your machine? I don't have a Windows machine handy, so there's not much I can do.
