Unable to install Update inside non-admin user's machine at time of run update.exe(application) using electron-updater

[Himesh512]

Below is our electron configuration to generate installer for windows.

• Electron-builder:- 22.14.13:

• Node:- 14.17.1:

• Electron:- 13.1.7:

• Electron Updater:- 4.6.5

Hello,
We are facing issue inside non-admin user's machine at time of run update.exe using electron-updater it gives following error and does not execute:

Cannot run installer: error code: EACCES, error message: "spawn C:\Users<>\AppData\Local<>-updater\pending\update.exe EACCES", will be executed again using elevate if EACCES"

When we try to run app as "Run as Administrator" inside non-admin user's machine then it will work even though above error still occur.

Any once facing the same ? Can anyone help in this issue?

We are using and electron-updater (4.6.5) and following is our config for windows and configure auto update with GitHub release mechanism.
