Angular universal + Webpack 4 : ReferenceError: window is not defined

Question

I have an angular 9 universal app created using NX, and I'm getting this error after the project compiled successfully.

/Users/lribeiro/Sites/builders/dist/apps/landingpages-public/browser/main.js:1
(window["webpackJsonp"] = window["webpackJsonp"] || []).push([["main"],{
^

A server error has occurred.
node exited with 1 code.

I'm already use domino, and have try some others, but the error persists.

This is my setup.

And this is my server.ts.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone-node';

import {ngExpressEngine} from '@nguniversal/express-engine';
import * as express from 'express';
import {join} from 'path';

import {AppServerModule} from './src/main.server';
import {APP_BASE_HREF} from '@angular/common';
import {readFileSync} from 'fs';

const DIST_FOLDER = join(process.cwd(), 'dist/apps/landingpages-public/browser');
const template = readFileSync(join(DIST_FOLDER, 'index.html'));
const domino = require('domino');

const win= domino.createWindow(template);

global['window'] = win;
global['document'] = win.document;
global['CSS'] = null;
global['navigator'] = win.navigator;
console.log(global['window'])

export function app() {
  const server = express();

  server.engine('html', ngExpressEngine({
    bootstrap: AppServerModule,
  }));

  server.set('view engine', 'html');
  server.set('views', DIST_FOLDER);
  server.engine('html', require('hogan-express'));

  server.get('*.*', express.static(DIST_FOLDER, {
    maxAge: '1y'
  }));

  // All regular routes use the Universal engine
  server.get('*', async (req, res) => {
    res.render(template, {req, "providers": [{provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: req.baseUrl}], 'title': 'title'});
  });

  return server;
}

function run() {
  const PORT = process.env.PORT || 4000;

  const server = app();
  server.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log(`Node express server listening on http://localhost:${PORT}`);
  });
}

declare const __non_webpack_require__: NodeRequire;
const mainModule = __non_webpack_require__.main;
const moduleFilename = mainModule && mainModule.filename || '';
if (moduleFilename === __filename || moduleFilename.includes('iisnode')) {
  run();
}

export * from './src/main.server';

I have made other project with Angular CLI based on the Universal example project with the same configuration, and works fine. Can this be from some dependency I'm using?

Thanks!

I have find the solution.

Basically i changed serverTarget and browserTarget on the building process.

"serve-ssr": {
      "builder": "@nguniversal/builders:ssr-dev-server",
      "options": {
        "serverTarget":  "landingpages-public:server",
        "browserTarget": "landingpages-public:build"
      }
},
