Description
Long time ago, I had written a static html web page using jquery that want to become a Desktop APP.
When I render to app, electron always use **{project-folder}/src/renderer/index.js as entry point**. However, my expected output is to use the index.html as entry point when I am render to win exe, mac app and linux deb.
I try many times when I am using **npm run dev** that exactly use index.html as entry point. But, when I use **npm run build**, it always use **{project-folder}/src/renderer/index.js as entry point.** How to solve it?
Here my package.json:

document.getElementsByTagName('head').innerHTML += css;

document.getElementById("app").innerHTML = content;

pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'),
