Access is denied

When running build of installer app this following error results:

Error: access is denied

at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\ServoyPC\AppData\Local\BizmanualzOnPolicy\app-1.0.0\resources\app.asar\node_modules\regedit\errors.js:29:13)

it works when running the app with npm or packaged app. Perhaps electron-winstaller blocks access to registry.

I've the same Problem. I need elevated privilege to do my entry. With this component I could do this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sudo-prompt

Like so: const options = { name: "Test" }; sudo.exec("reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU /v NoAUShutdownOption /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001", options, (error:any) => { error && console.log(error); } );

Maybe it helps Someone

Found a solution with "windows-elevate".
