@mivsvit The reason for this is that the installer itself is compiled for x64. Unfortunately WiX toolset (at least through electron-builder) doesn't support building a native ARM64 installer. The application deployed should be ARM64, but the installer needs to be translated unfortunately.

Closing as question is answered.
