Get executable APP name in main.js for portable
See original GitHub issueI see that process.env.PORTABLE_EXECUTABLE_DIR will return executable dir, but how can I get full app name, assume some users would change that app name?
I want to toggle shortcut and startup, which will need dir and app name, C:/Users/${user}/AppData/Local/Temp is not useful since it will change every time.
System::Call 'Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariable(t, t)i ("PORTABLE_EXECUTABLE_DIR", "$EXEDIR").r0'
It only sets PORTABLE_EXECUTABLE_DIR.

For anyone else who finds this- I found that using
process.execPathworks. I was using an exe built by electron-packager, but not a portable one.@Cefold Please try 20.27.1
