See original GitHub issue

I am trying to install .exe file in windows system. But unable to do it and getting “The ordinal 345 could not be located in the dynamic link library” error. My Command is: "electron-packager . myApp --overwrite --asar=true --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --icon=iconnewa1.ico --prune=true --out=release-builds --version-string.CompanyName=CE --version-string.FileDescription=CE --version-string.ProductName=' myApp'"

I don’t think this is a bug in Electron Packager. If you search for this error elsewhere, you get https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/25577, and I think VSCode has its own build system that they use to bundle their app instead of Packager. Unfortunately since I’m not particularly familiar with that error, I don’t know where you’d go to investigate it in more depth.

@vaidyaanand You literally posted a Squirrel.Windows error log, zero ways to reproduce on the electron-packager issue tracker (wrong project) without even filling in the issue template completely. Open source is not free support, we provide this package and help people out where we can. You seem to be under the misimpression that you are somehow entitled to support and that switching packagers will somehow make us come back begging to help you.

It won’t

I do hope that you solve your issue and that in the future you communicate with open source projects in a nicer more mutually respectful way
