Can you solve this problem? I also encountered the same problem as you.

[lacymorrow]

What kind of project do you have @xuzpeng ?

I'm building using wojtkowiak/meteor-desktop so there's a whole separate set of issues but I've noticed it seems to be related to the msi build (Windows).

That being said I was able to get it working a few days ago and the error showed up again.

[lacymorrow]

FWIW I can create and build a project using https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-boilerplate no problem, so it has to do with the implementation of electron-boilerplate

[Spencer17x]

@lacymorrow I can use windows to package it.

[lacymorrow]

I'm not building MSI packages, instead I'm using nsis packages. These work and can be built no problem from MacOS.

I'm using Appveyor to build MSI packages and 32-bit.

Same problem here after updating from 20.44.4 to 22.1.0 under macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

win:
  target:
    - target: nsis
      arch:
        - x64
        - ia32

[lacymorrow]

@dehmer Want to post your error log? I didn't think this error would occur with nsis targets.

i'm running into this same error trying to build for windows. i'm on mac os mojave 10.14.6. any progress on this issue?

rollback electron-builder to 21.2.0 solve my problem, but latest version still looks unstable

[beevelop]

I can confirm the issue on macOS 10.14.6 (18G103) and [email protected].

rollback electron-builder to _21.2.0_ solve my problem, but latest version still looks unstable

This fixed for me as well, thank you for the suggestion!

[hkennyv]

It looks like they fixed it in the latest minor release. I was able to build for -mwl on macOS 10.14.6.

[dehmer]

[email protected] looks good to me. Also on macOS 10.14.6.
A keeper ;-)

[stale[bot]]

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

[tsyopa]

Removing electron-builder cache folder helped in my case.
On macos it is located in ~/Library/Caches/electron-builder

[justong86]
