Does not produce MSI file.

See original GitHub issue

Does not produce an .msi installer regardless of config or settings.

Using version 2.7.0.

let settings = {
    name: ID,
    title: appName+' Sing It',
    appDirectory: path.join(outPath, ID+'-win32-ia32/'),
    authors: 'Musicline School Musicals',
    outputDirectory: path.join(outPath, 'windows-installer'),
    exe: appName+' Sing It.exe',
    setupExe: appName+' install.exe',
    setupMsi: appName+' install.msi',
    iconUrl: 'https://singit.musiclinedirect.com/_admin/_data/icon.ico',
    setupIcon: path.join(rootPath, 'assets', 'icons', 'windows', 'icon.ico'),
    loadingGif: path.join(rootPath, 'assets', 'images', 'Artboard.gif')
};

Theres no error creates the normal .exe installer perfectly and runs fine. Just no .msi

Yeah I’m on mac, the only solution I found was to get a third party solution to build an MSI from my exe on a windows computer… Not the prettiest solution, but it’ll do for now. Thanks for the reply!

@MaxCloutier Which thrid party solution did you end up going with if you don’t mind me asking? I’m stuck trying to make a MSI file with no success on my own.

I don’t remember unfortunately, I moved on to a different company unfortunately and believe the company I did this for isn’t using it anymore. It’s been a while since then so I would assume that there might be better solutions out there now 😃 I wish you the best in finding a solution, I believe I had to have a program running on windows, sending my app from mac to windows, then converting it to a MSI file. There has to be a better solution out there.
