Can't open output file

[halink0803]

I have tried to use Electron Builder to build Windows installer. However, I just can build one time, but when I install it throws error:

I tried to build it again, but this time it throws error:

makensis: 
Output: "\Users\hoangha\HaLink\service-oriented-architecture-assignment\desktopApp\~Desktop\\SOA Library Setup.exe"

makensis: Can't open output file
Error - aborting creation process

Finished makensis with code 1
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/electron-builder/cli.js:30
    throw error;
          ^
Error: makensis failed
    at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/electron-builder/lib/win.js:81:26)

    at Socket.emit (events.js:107:17)
    at Pipe.close (net.js:485:12)

And here is my config.json file:

{
  "osx" : {
    "title": "SOA Library",
    "background": "assets/osx/installer.png",
    "icon": "assets/osx/mount.icns",
    "icon-size": 80,
    "contents": [
      { "x": 438, "y": 344, "type": "link", "path": "/Applications" },
      { "x": 192, "y": 344, "type": "file" }
    ]
  },
  "win" : {
    "title" : "SOA Library",
    "icon" : "icon.ico"
  }
}

Do anybody know how to solve this problem? Where did I do wrong.

It looks like you build the application including electron-packager inside of your actual application executable.

Be careful not to include node_modules you don't want into your final app. electron-packager, electron-prebuilt and .git will be ignored by default. You can use --ignore to ignore files and folders, e.g. --ignore=node_modules/electron-packager or --ignore="node_modules/(electron-packager|electron-prebuilt)"

Can you check your settings for electron-packager and make sure, you do not include these electron modules in your application.

I assume you're on a different OS than windows?

Thank you. It helped. I build it on OSX not in Windows.
