Description

Hi, I am using electron-winstaller to create a sestup.msi file - so IT can install the app remotely.

When I run the setup.msi, I see a screen with a progress bar, then the setup process just closes and nothing else happens. I am on Windows 10 - latest version. The command I used to create the setup.ms

var electronInstaller = require('electron-winstaller');
resultPromise = electronInstaller.createWindowsInstaller({
appDirectory: './release-builds/AVCPG-win32-x64/',
outputDirectory: './windows-installer',
authors: 'Chris de Lambert',
noMsi: false,
exe: 'AVCPG.exe',
setupMsi: 'setup.msi',
setupIcon: './electron-icons/icon.ico'
});
resultPromise.then(() => console.log("It worked!"), (e) => console.log(`No dice: ${e.message}`));

I get the "It worked!" output (after like 5 minutes).

Also, the setup.exe that is output just shows a weird green screen and then throws a system error after one minute.
PLEASE HELP!
