Build an Electron App (generate build & setup)

there,

I've been working for over 8 hours trying to generate setup and build my ElectronJS application (v18.0.0 mandatory).

Here is my package.json :

{
  "name": "appname",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "homepage": "https://website.../",
  "description": "Description",
  "main": "main.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "electron .",
    "build": "electron-builder",
    "electron-builder:shortcut": "npm exec --package=electron-builder -- electron-builder",
    "electron-builder:dist": "npm run electron-builder:shortcut -- --publish never"
  },
  "build": {
    "appId": "appId.appName",
    "productName": "Name",
    "artifactName": "Name",
    "asar": true,
    "copyright": "Copyright © Name",
    "directories": {
      "output": "dist"
    },
    "extraMetadata": {
      "version": "0.0.1 Beta",
      "description": "Description",
      "author": "author"
    },
    "protocols": {
      "name": "OmniBridge",
      "schemes": [
        "omnibridge"
      ]
    },
    "win": {
      "target": [
        "msi"
      ],
      "icon": "app/img/icon.ico",
      "publisherName": "Name"
    },
    "nsis": {
      "oneClick": false,
      "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true,
      "installerIcon": "app/img/logo.ico",
      "uninstallerIcon": "app/img/logo.ico",
      "installerHeader": "app/img/logo.ico",
      "include": "installer.nsh"
    }
  },
  "keywords": [
    "trucksim",
    "ets2",
    "ats",
    "oghub"
  ],
  "author": "author",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^1.7.2",
    "child_process": "^1.0.2",
    "discord-rpc": "^4.0.1",
    "form-data": "^4.0.0",
    "fs": "^0.0.1-security",
    "node-localstorage": "^3.0.5",
    "registry-js": "^1.16.0",
    "trucksim-telemetry": "^0.21.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron": "^18.0.0",
    "electron-builder": "^24.13.3"
  }
}

When I run npm run build, it generates these :

dist/ -> /win-unpacked -> myapp.exe (good okay), BUT, i have in extrameta data “Github Inc”, “Version: v18.0.0” and “App Name: Electron”.

And, same, I don't know how to generate a “win-unpacked” setup anymore, the last time I had done something under electron was in 2018 with electron-wininstaller, but it doesn't work for me anymore.

Another thing, when I use electron build, I also have this information:

npm run build
