Custom dist output and app dir

and create the installers into the packaged directory

I suggest to use defaults — dist directory. You can set custom using directories.output:

"directories": {
  "output": "packaged"
}

The app is built from src using grunt into the build directory.

If your app has native dependencies, I recommend to use Two package.json structure. If no native dependencies, use build.files:

"build": {
  "files": "build"
}

So, only build directory will be included into the packaged app. But! build is expected to be directory of build resources. So, recommended to use different name, out for example. Or set directories.buildResources to custom value.

do not get the auto-updater. Any suggestions?

Wait. #529 Will be fixed soon, but cannot promise anything.

Both the MAC and Windows installers seem to be working! Thanks again for helping me out!

While it may be more of a question for the squirrel installer people, I do have one more question. On windows 10 I was hoping to have the app installed to be visible under “Programs and Features” with an uninstaller and maybe a desktop shortcut. However it is installed into AppData/local, is not visible by Windows, and doesn’t seem to have an uninstaller (implying that the user would have to manually find the app in AppData/local and delete the files). Is there any way to go about this?

EDIT: I used the nsis installer and that seemed to do exactly what I was expecting, but with that I of course do not get the auto-updater. Any suggestions?
