runAfterFinish only works after the second time installing

• Electron-Builder Version: 22.14.5

• Node Version: 16.13.0

• Electron Version: 17.0.1
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): stable

• Target: nsis

After building the nsis installer (with runAfterFinish kept to default true). The app will only start after the second time installing it. I had this issue in Electron 10.4.7 and now still in 17.0.1. However, this only seems to happen when I change the executable setup filename either using artifactName or manually after the build.

package.json

"build": {
    "productName": "Peazy",
    "appId": "com.electron.peazy",
    "artifactName": "${productName}.${ext}",
    "directories": {
      "output": "./out"
    },
    "win": {
      "target": "nsis",
      "icon": "./src/renderer/assets/img/favicon.ico",
      "publisherName": "Bob Vandevliet"
    },
    "nsis": {
      "runAfterFinish": true,
      "createDesktopShortcut": false,
      "createStartMenuShortcut": false
    }
  }

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

It's still relevant, however it seems no one else has experienced this issue (no responses, which I think is strange). For my project, I solved it using a launcher, but it's not a beautiful solution (it's a workaround).
