Describe the bug i have created project in electron using vue i am using active-win to get info about currently opened app. active-win works fine for both mac and linux but gives error on windows

To Reproduce

• vue create currently-active-window-info

• cd currently-active-window-info

• vue add electron-builder

• npm i active-win

• write following code in app.vue

• const activeWindow = require('active-win'); -created(){(async () => { console.log('currently active window',await activeWindow(options)); })();

• }

• npm run electron:build -- --win --mac --linux

Expected behavior after following steps mentioned in reproduce section as soon as app is openend it should display currently focused app detail in console which works fine for mac and linux

Facing the same issue. After installing .exe generated by - "electron-builder --win --x64" it is giving me ".tmp.node is not a valid Win32 application".

I ran into the same issue. I noticed that the error occurs when building the WIndows app on a MacOS or Windows machine. As @Prat1143 mentioned above, setting the --x64 flag doesn't solve the issue when building on a MacOS machine (for me). However, it does not occur when building the Windows app on a Windows machine with the --x64 flag.

Not sure why this would be the case.
