Asar is applied on current folder instead of project directory

• Version: 16.8.2

No version of electron-updater is being used.

• Target: Windows x64 (probably happend with any)

I am using a setup with two package.json files.
My build process compiles my Typescript files into Javascript and stores them in the dist/ folder. Inside this dist folder is the inner package.json containing the electron builder configuration inside the build tag.
This build tag contains: "build: { "appId": "com.example.project", "asar": false }

The outer package.json calls the builder via a NPM command: build --dir --projectDir dist

The result is just as expected and works absolutely fine. If I set asar to true, though, the command crashes telling me the index.js could not be found. Calling the command via console directly does the same thing if I call it from the main folder. Calling it from the subfolder dist instead without setting the --projectDir flag works fine.

Executing asar list on the broken .asar file shows all of my files from the main directory instead of the subfolder's entries.

I hope it is obsolete now.
