Electron-builder: Windows 10 build Error (NSIS)
Version: 19.8.0
Target: Windows
Hi;
When I run npm run dev my app works fine. When I try to build app with npm run package I get an error while NSIS packaging stage.

- Please use electron-builder 19.16.1
- Please remove
C:\Users\Benny\AppData\Local\electron-builder\cachedirectory (to invalidate caches).

Thanks for quick reply.
I upgraded electron-builder and removed the cache folder but I'm still getting the same error.

Is your windows 64bit?

Yes it is

Well... something broken on your machine. Could you please try to reboot (sorry)? And provide result of command tree in the dir C:\Users\Benny\AppData\Local\electron-builder\cache\nsis
Is windows 10 updated to latest version and not updates to install?
develar
on 22 Jul 2017
I checked the updates for the Win 10. There was only one .NET Framework update. I did the update and deleted the cache folder again. Did a reboot and then tried to run command npm run package-win
Still getting the error.
Here is the tree command result

Please check that there is dir nsis-resources in the C:\Users\Benny\AppData\Local\electron-builder\cache. Please execute tree /F in the cache dir.

So, I see nsis7z.dll.... Hmm... Ok. Please install http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/nsis/nsis-3.01-setup.exe?download NSIS (only to install some system deps, this installed nsis will be not used).
Please set env DEBUG=electron-builder* and attach log of the terminal output (https://github.com/visionmedia/debug#windows-note).
PS. If you just want to work — may be copying nsis7z.dll from nsis-resources/nsis-resources-3.0.0/x86-unicode to dir nsis/nsis-3.0.1.13/Plugins/x86-unicode will be temporary solution for you.

FYI: Deleting C:\Users\pamtbaau\AppData\Local\electron-builder\cache directory solved the issue for me.
Using: "electron-builder": "^19.49.2",

Same here. Win10 + electron-builder v21.2.0. The Setup.exe hangs halfway through its progress bar.

Fixed by following suggestions from https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/4057, https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/pull/4443, and https://www.howtogeek.com/314734/how-to-manually-remove-programs-from-the-windows-uninstall-program-list/
MBetters
on 2 Dec 2019
@MBetters did you solve this locally just for your installation?
Or did you manage to pack with electron-builder and distribute an .exe which works (both installing or autoupdating)?
Can you please provide steps or .nsh include files you used to fix this?
damianobarbati
on 3 Dec 2019
@damianobarbati All I did was...
- Win key
Add or remove programs- Search name of app (
productNamein thebuildkey) and select that app - Click
Uninstall - Run the Setup.exe again (this time it works, i.e.- doesn't hang)
So really I should say that I just followed https://www.howtogeek.com/314734/how-to-manually-remove-programs-from-the-windows-uninstall-program-list/, which I discovered via https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/4057.

Same error w. 20.39.0 version. My application consists in a React main process that launch 2 python processes (with large .WAV file), since I remove both of them the build is succesful. Maybe you should try a build without large files that may be present in your source code !

Same error with electron-builder 22.3.2 building windows nsis, nsis-exe and portable on a windows 10. The build is successful when deleting large files (~4GB total), but electron-builder gives this error when I attempt to build with them:

The solutions above were not helpful for my case. Is there a known work around? eg can I build and paste the large files in after the fact?
Thanks!

Same error with electron-builder 22.3.2 building windows nsis, nsis-exe and portable on a windows 10. The build is successful when deleting large files (~4GB total), but electron-builder gives this error when I attempt to build with them:
File: failed creating mmap of "C:\Users\[redacted]platform-0.1.0-x64.nsis.7z" Error in macro x64_app_files on macroline 1 Error in macro compute_files_for_current_arch on macroline 25 Error in macro extractEmbeddedAppPackage on macroline 14 Error in script "<stdin>" on line 143 -- aborting creation process at ChildProcess.childProcess.once.code (C:\Users\[redacted]\node_modules\app-builder-lib\node_modules\builder-util\src\util.ts:239:14) at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:277:13) at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:189: at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:970: at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:259:5)The solutions above were not helpful for my case. Is there a known work around? eg can I build and paste the large files in after the fact?
Thanks!
Yes you can build and paste the large files after the operation ! I'm currently doing that for my project that includes 3Gb of audio files. But before you should try asarUnpack option in your package.json build section, can also work for some medium-sized files that might not be compiled or optimized.
{
"build":{
"asarUnpack":[
"fileToUnpack1.*",
"fileToUnpack2.*",
"....."
],
}
I got the same error as the issue creator. None of the suggestions above solved it. It turned out that Windows Security was blocking it;
It's categorizing the uninstaller as a trojan.
Version info:
- Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 19587.rs_prerelease.200313-1639
- electron-builder 22.4.1
The project is a minimal hello world project.

I'm on 22.6.0 now and it's still happening, but not because of a Trojan. It seems to only happen when building two different apps one after the other. I worked around it by using a different cache directory per app, i.e. setting ELECTRON_BUILDER_CACHE (a separate issue with that: #4955)

FYI: Deleting
C:\Users\pamtbaau\AppData\Local\electron-builder\cachedirectory solved the issue for me.Using: "electron-builder": "^19.49.2",
