Installer not creating shortcuts #319

Closed heygideon closed 4 years ago

heygideon commented 4 years ago

Hi, I'm using electron-installer-windows version 3.0.0 on a 64-bit Windows Machine, with npm version 6.14.4 and Node.js 12.16.3. I built an Electron app using electron-packager, then compiled it with electron-installer-windows using the parameters src, dest, options.noMsi and options.animation. But when I ran the installer to test, the application launched but no Start or desktop shortcuts were created, though it said it had 'successfully created package'.

I'm wondering if I've missed any parameters,

Thanks.

I've just realised what I've done wrong... I haven't handled Squirrel events in my main program. Case closed.
