npm run pack:win won't make (explicitly specified) 32 bit builds.

Hi,

I'm using ArchLinux and I'm making an electron build for windows platform. I'm using npm run pack:win and in my electron-builder.yml

win:
  target: nsis
  icon: build/icon.ico
  arch:
    - x64
    - ia32

And when the command runs I see output

...
Using electron-builder.yml configuration file
Skip app dependencies rebuild because platform is different
Packaging for win32 x64 using electron 1.7.6 to dist/win-unpacked
Building NSIS installer
  Packaging NSIS installer for arch x64

The execution stops at "Packaging NSIS installer for arch x64" never goes past that, I've also (desperately) tried - win32 and only - ia32 in the arch field but it doesn't build for win32.

My objective is to make either a 32bit build & a 64 bit build or a 32bit build that will also run on 64 bit machines (fall back).

I need 32 bit to work since my program will run in relatively most normal computers and most of them have 32 bit windows 7.

To avoid a long block of packages here is an image of my package.json "dependencies".

Still looks long, but images aren't that bad

Thanks.

Hey, I think you might be better off opening an issue with electron-builder: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder

I do my best to support this boilerplate and point people in the right direction if I don't know the answer. I'm not familiar with the inner workings of electron-builder and haven't really spent much time with it so you should be able to get better support there.

I am curious what the fix or workaround is so please post back if you find one as it may be helpful for other users who come across this issue.

Oh sure, I'll keep you noticed.

Thanks!

Hello,

My question was answered and it turned out to be pretty dumb of me not to update my devDependencies where electron-builder happened to be located at.

That solved the problem!
