Windows build: Clicking the exe gives me default Electron #78

Closed hyperh closed 8 years ago

I did a Windows build from a Mac, and I click on ../win32-ia32/release/APPNAME-win32-ia32/Appname.exe. I get the following:

Welcome to Electron

To run your app with Electron, execute the following command under your Console (or Terminal):

path_to_generated path-to-your-app
The path-to-your-app should be the path to your own Electron app, you can read the quick start guide in Electron's docs on how to write one.

Or you can just drag your app here to run it:

I didn't follow the steps in Building and serving an auto-updating Windows app, because I just want an exe that people can click on and access the app through (auto-updating isn't important to me right now), similar to how the Mac apps are built. What am I missing from the process?

Here are my electron settings:

electron": {
    "autobuild": true,
    "name": "Olis",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "description": "A really cool app.",
    "height": 768,
    "width": 1024,
    "frame": true,
    "resizable": true,
    "builds": [
      {"platform": "win32",
       "arch": "ia32"}
    ]
 }

Actually I fixed it, I was following the steps incorrectly.
