Trying to build a windows msi installer from an Angular 6 application.

I'm sorry but I can't reproduce this at all. I tried installing electron-installer-windows as a global package, which looks like what you did, and no errors. I used both bash and powershell and neither showed errors, it looks like you used bash.

You're also not using the latest version of this package, which is v1.1.0, maybe tried upgrading.

If after upgrading you still see this error. Please copy/paste the output of running DEBUG=electron-installer-windows electron-installer-windows --src dist/app/ --dest dist/installers/ (running from bash)

I have received this error as well building a Vue based app

@kevinkhill The issue i found out is that be default windows setups an outpath for you. This outpath is way to long for the limitations of nuget. So what i did what define the OutPath within my angular json build command. You should be able to do the same with Vue. Example:

  "electron": "ng build --base-href ./ --output-path=electron/dist/dist && tsc --p electron && electron .",
 "electron-windows": "ng build --base-href ./  --output-path=electron/dist/dist && electron-builder -w"
