Electron-builder: nsis to use productName rather than name for install path

pacakge.json

{ 
  "name": "myapp",
  "productName": "My App",
  "author": "My Company",

...
    "nsis": {
      "oneClick": false,
      "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": true,
      "menuCategory": true,
      "runAfterFinish": false
    },

On selecting per machine install, the default path is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\My Company\myapp

Whereas I was hoping for:

C:\Program Files (x86)\My Company\My App

I simply want to do this to match the existing installers of My Company.

Obviously productName can contain characters which are not valid for use in file paths, so this functionality as a default might not be a good idea.

Option will be added this week. It was decided to use name because productName is not safe and suitable for number of users..

@develar any quick update on this? A much desired feature before we push out our installer to users in the next week or so.

I don't want to introduce yet another option. If product name matches /^[-_0-9a-zA-Z ]+$/, it will be used instead of safe name (applicable only for perMachine or boring installer).
