MSI fails with CNDL1147

• Version: 19.45.4

• Target: msi

msi bundling fails with tons of the following errors:

Error: Exit code: 1147. Command failed: C:\ … \AppData\Local\electron-builder\cache\wix\wix-4.0.0.5512.2\candle.exe -arch x64 -dappDir=C:\ … \packages\win-unpacked -pedantic -wx project.wxs

C:\Users\ ... \packages\__msi-temp-x64\project.wxs(259) : error CNDL1147 : Backslash terminate the Component/@Directory attribute's inline directory value 'resources\app.asar.unpacked\node_modules\ ... _u'. A backslash ensures a directory name will not be mistaken for a direct ory reference.

NSIS builds are running fine. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Maybe this is related to #2272?

@vaibhav6233m put the “msi” key at the same level as “win”, not under it. So: "build": { "win": { ... }, "msi": { "warningsAsErrors": false } }

Because MSI and WiX sucks, and not so awesome as NSIS, it will take some time until all pitfalls will be catched and workarounds added. I will investigate this issue.
