NSIS build fails to find 7z archive

[cdriehuys]

• Version: 20.16.2

• Target: Windows x64 (NSIS)

I am trying to build the app using the script

build -c.extraMetadata.main=build/electron.js

The build then fails with the error message below. The error indicates that it is failing to find a .7z archive. If I view the folder after the build fails, I only see a folder with the same name as the archive the builder is looking for.

Wow. That is the fastest resolution to an issue I think I've ever seen. Thanks for the quick response. Installing electron-builder@next fixed my issue.

@develar, I am encountering a similar trace on CentOS 6. Help! ;_;
