The format of the URI could not be determined

What version of electron-installer-windows are you using? 0.2.0 What version of node and npm are you using? v6.3.1 and 3.10.3 What operating system are you using? Windows 10 (Latest build) Can you compile the example app successfully? Yes. Although the app doesn’t start for whatever reason What did you do? Please include the configuration you are using for electron-installer-windows. Building the installer with the minimum options passed. Just an src and a dist folder. electron-installer-windows --src ./OLS-Educ2-win32-x64/ --dest dist/installers/ What did you expect to happen? An installer is born What actually happened? A huge error stack which boils down to this: “The format of the URI could not be determined”.

I have seen in older issues that this issue stems from an incorrect icon path, however whether I pass one (http link to whatever icon) or not, the issue remains.

Here is the full text of the error: `C:\Users\Samir\Documents\school5.electrify.dist>electron-installer-windows --src OLS-Educ2-win32-x64/ --dest dist/installers/ (node:1396) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported.

Thank you for taking the time.

@Wqrld Since your icon is a local file, you should use icon instead:

{
  "dest": "dist/installers/",
  "icon": "C:/Users/werel/Desktop/programmeren/gamehub/gamehub/favicon.ico",
  "tags": [
    "Utility"
  ]
}

I had same issue. I noticed projectUrl in .nuspec file is incorrect. After I added homepage to package.json, this issue disappeared.
