在 Windows 10 电子打包器中缺少电子.exe

Question

I've started with a clean VM of windows 10. Installed node.js, npm, upgraded npm and installed electron-packager -g.

I have a simple electron app that I wrote which packages fine on Mac. But when I do this from the app directory:

electron-packager .

It yields:

Packaging app for platform win32 x64 using electron v8.1.0 ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename 'C:\\Users\\ROBERT~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\electron-packager\\win32-x64\\myApp-win32-x64\\electron.exe' -> 'C:\\Users\\ROBERT~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\electron-packager\\win32-x64\\myApp-win32-x64\\myApp.exe'

However, the electron.exe file doesn't exist in that specified directory.

I'm a noob so I'm probably doing something wrong but I think I followed the correct sequence. Any ideas?

I had the same issue! Judging by your username ROBERT~1 it seems that you have a space in your name. I also had a space. Change your username (a long process) or create a new user (without spaces). That fixed my issue :) Good luck!
