uninstaller is not signed by electron-builder reason=custom NSIS script is used

• Version: 22.1.0

• Target: NSIS

Hi. I have such config:

"build": {
    "appId": "com.electron.browsec",
    "asar": false,
    "productName": "Browsec",
    "directories": {
      "app": "appCopy"
    },
    "win": {
      "artifactName": "${productName}-setup-${version}-${arch}.${ext}",
      "publish": {
        "provider": "generic",
        "url": ""
      },
      "target": {
        "target": "nsis",
        "arch": [
          "x64",
          "ia32"
        ]
      },
      "signAndEditExecutable": false
    },
    "nsis": {
      "script": "build/installer.nsi",
      "warningsAsErrors": false
    }
  },

And just copy of default NSIS template of electron-builder.

I am getting error:

Error output:

Error output:

I can not understand where to get this uninstall.exe (<= main question) and how to sign it?

@MatthiasD0 I was able to fix it by… installing all updates to Windows in Parallels. Then it happened that NSIS installer is broken on newest electron-builder so you have to use 21.2.0

today I updated electron-builder to latest version 22.6.0, but another error occurred:
