[Bug] nsis-web auto-update just uninstall application without new installation

See original GitHub issue

Version: 20.15.3

Version: 2.21.10

Target: nsis-web

nsis-web auto-update uninstalls previous installed files but does not install new one, so auto-update just deletes installed files.

I think this issue is caused by #2739. child_process.spawn doesn’t seem to require double quotes, and unexpected double quotes makes nsis script cannot parse --package-file properly.

Possible solutions

Rollback #2739 to remove double quotes
Add shell: true or windowsVerbatimArguments: true to spawn options
