I have changed my root package.json from:

 "win": {
      "target": [
        "nsis",
        "msi"
      ]
 },

To:

"win": {
      "target": [
        "nsis"
      ]
 },

Which avoids this error for now - just remove the “msi” target option.

In case anyone stumbles upon this error: for me this error was triggered by disabling asar. When building with asar enabled, the MSI builds without problems.
