Support both win32 and win64 #19

Closed atlantiumtech closed 5 years ago

atlantiumtech commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to create installers for both win32 and win64. Which copy of node.exe should I copy? (32/64).

And how running npm install should be related to node version? (lets say my machine is win64 and I want to create installer which can be use be win32)

What is the best approach to treat this use case?

I don't typically build installers, I just zip up the files I need and distribute it that way. I'm not sure there is much need to differentiate between a 32 bit and 64 bit build unless you are getting some specific benefits from it. I just run the x64 build on all the machines I have access to.

I have no idea really what is being used to make installers these days. I think there is Electron Builder and Electron Packager but I haven't kept up with them to know which is the better approach.
