There is a small .js app and embedded in electron-forge and it works fine, as does the building process via nmp run make. I want the installed files to be in C:/Program Files (x86)/app-name , while everything I've tried leads to the app being installed in C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\app-name (seemingly as a default).
I have read the docu of forge: ( https://www.electronforge.io/config/makers/squirrel.windows https://js.electronforge.io/modules/_electron_forge_maker_squirrel.html https://js.electronforge.io/interfaces/_electron_forge_maker_squirrel.InternalOptions.Options.html#outputDirectory )
From the last link especially, I understand that appDirectory is the attribute I need to change in forge.config.js makers like this:
makers: [
{
name: '@electron-forge/maker-squirrel',
config: {
setupIcon: './icons/33524_ICON_app-name_256x256.ico',
icon: './icons/33524_ICON_app-name_256x256.ico',
appDirectory: "C:/Program Files (x86)/app-name",
//outputDirectory: "C:/Program Files (x86)/app-name"
},
},
, but it doesn't change anything. outputDirectory, which should define the folder of the build path, didn't change the default location either.
How can I fix this?
