I just got this working now. I am pasting my solution here, might help somebody in future…

"clean": "rimraf dist", "build": "electron-packager . --out=dist --asar --overwrite", "setup": "electron-installer-windows --src dist/App-win32-x64/ --dest dist/installers/ --config config.json ", "final": "npm run clean && npm run build && npm run setup"

All i did is npm run final which does cleanup first, then build and then setup.

It worked just perfect, so probably I was missing rimraf dist originally

I got this error by accidentally setting:

"icon": "./assets/images/logo.png"

to

"iconUrl": "./assets/images/logo.png"

If you’re using iconUrl at all it needs to be a valid URI otherwise it will fail.
