Electron nsis-web installer uninstalls existing app while installing update
We are facing an issue in Electron app, wherein the existing app is getting deleted while trying to install a new version (a similar kind of issue, (#2381). In our case, it's not just links in the start menu but seems the entire app itself is getting uninstalled, as we see the app folder (C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs) itself is getting emptied during installation. So, we need to install it twice every time (as a temporary workaround).
App Details:
Electron Builder Version: v22.14.13
Electron Version: 17.0.0
node: 14.16.0
Operating System: Windows
I am not sure what is wrong.
Build Config :
I was able to find the reason. The issue was due to both productName and artifactName are same in the build config. Changing (OR adding a suffix to) the artifactName, has fixed the issue.
Note: I'm not sure whether it should work fine even if both productName and artifcatName are same, but in our case, it caused
an issue.
