electron-builder is not creating the .msi installer

Hi folks, thank you for this awesome package!

I’ve been using electron-builder for several months to create my .exe installers. Now I’m trying to create .msi installers as well, and it seems like the build.win.noMsi option doesn’t affect the output of electron-builder, because I can’t get a .msi installer even with the option noMsi = false.

I’m using the two package.json configuration as recommended.

My dev package.json includes:

"build" : {
    "win" : {
        "noMsi": "false",
        "iconUrl" : "<my-icon-url>",
        "title" : "MyApp",
        "version" : "0.0.1",
        "publisher": "Me"
    }
  }

My app package.json includes:

{
  "name": "MyApp",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description" : "MyApp for Windows.",
  "main": "main.js",
  "author": "Me",
  "homepage" : "https://www.what-about-me.com",
  "license": "MPL-2.0",
}

I toggled the noMsi value but no matter what it says, I only get my .exe, my .nupkg, and two RELEASES and RELEASES-ia32 files.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
