Error when trying to build Windows App

Hi! Trying to build Mac OS app and it works just fine, but during building Windows App (on Mac) I got error:

	}
}

What am I doing wrong?

I’m encountering the same issue (with version 19.16.2 of electron-builder). I do have the file node_modules/electron-builder/templates/nsis/include/StdUtils.nsh, however the complete path from root does contain spaces (just like @slavaspirit’s .../Angular Projects/PRJ SnapShip/...), which seems to be the problem here:

Error output: !include: could not find: "XXX\node_modules\electron-builder\templates\nsis\include\StdUtils.nsh"

Where XXX represents an incomplete path.

@develar what does it have to do with webpack?

👍 all good
