How to Create Windows EXE Installer for Electron App Using GitHub Actions

In this short post, we will learn how to create a Windows installation EXE for an <a href="https://techwritingtools.com/article/Electron" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Electron</a> app using <a href="https://techwritingtools.com/article/Electron%20packager" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Electron packager</a> and <a href="https://techwritingtools.com/article/Innoscript" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Innoscript</a>. Electron packager generates a zip archive file for your Electron application with an EXE, which can be used to run the application. It isn’t the best user experience to download and unzip the archive file before using the app. The official Electron packager document suggests using a third-party tool to generate the EXE installation. I tried a few different tools and ran into issues with most of them. Finally, I used <a href="https://techwritingtools.com/article/Innoscript" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Innoscript</a> to generate an installation EXE. Running the end-to-end flow using only a virtual machine isn’t easy without a Windows machine. So, I ended up automaticating the whole flow using <a href="https://techwritingtools.com/article/Github%20actions" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Github actions</a>.
