to implement full customized installation requirements.
After I finished transplant my nsis script into electron-builder's installer.nsi and I used electron-updater to do a differential update check, it fails with this error:
htttp 400 bad request
I added some console.log directly in NsisTarget.js from app-builder-lib/out to checkout why but failed.
I've spent about 1 week to find the very reason but I don't figure it out. Here's all what I've done during these days.
compare all build configure differences from good to bad
compare with script: installer.nsi and without
compare a sample install.nsi with electron-builder's template installer.nsi
compare package app-name-arch.nsis.7z and without
this is what I find:
with only one Section "install" same as electron-builder's nsis template, if I use APP_BUILD_DIR which means do not use 7z compress, it works but when I use File app-name-arch.nsis.7z and even the same code copied from electron-builder's nsis template extractEmbededApp, it does not work, I will get the 400 bad request error when I check update with differential update.
I have tried SetSectionSize and also any other necessary code before install but can not figure out the very reason.
Also I tried the alpha version to see whether it's a bug and fixed in the future version, it does not work even :(
The plan B which I am doing is include: 'installer.nsh' any other extra customization of nsis through overwriting the origianl nsis nsh or nsi template to implement. It's a bad way to go but I have suffered it too long.
Please help me out, thanks in advance 👍
