How to change/customize appname and author

See original GitHub issue

I have downloaded ElectronNET-API-Demos. I have gotten it running simply enough. My problem is that I am new and I am trying to figure out how to customize an installer build in order to deploy my custom application.

I have run electronize build /target win and I have created a “electron.net.host Setup 1.0.2.exe” file under "ElectronNET-API-Demos\obj\desktop\win\dist". My question is which package.json files (or other files) do I need to customize in order to change the Author and other properties about the build for my exe?

Actually as @Tum4ik mentioned in the chat before, a better temporary workaround solution would be as follow:- you should modify the author property in your package.json file and pass the package.json file during your build via command electronize build /target win /package-json package.json

You can set a name and author of the app in electron.manifest.json with the new Electron.NET version 8.31.1 (#348 )

As example:

{
  "executable": "ElectronNet8311",
  "splashscreen": {
    "imageFile": "/wwwroot/assets/electronnet-splashscreen-2.jpg"
  },
  "name": "ElectronNet8311",
  "author": "Max Mustermann",
  "description": "voll my app",
  "singleInstance": false,
  "build": {
    "appId": "com.ElectronNet8311.app",
    "productName": "ElectronNet8311",
    "copyright": "Copyright © 2020",
    "buildVersion": "1.0.0",
    "compression": "maximum",
    "directories": {
      "output": "../../../bin/Desktop"
    },
    "extraResources": [
      {
        "from": "./bin",
        "to": "bin",
        "filter": ["**/*"]
      }
    ],
    "files": [
      {
        "from": "./ElectronHostHook/node_modules",
        "to": "ElectronHostHook/node_modules",
        "filter": ["**/*"]
      },
      "**/*"
    ]
  }
}
