I am trying to produces a Windows application, my main workstation is macOS I packaged the exe file there and tried running it on Windows and I got an error so I tried building it on my Windows machine and the same issue occurred.

• I am using WebStorm
• Electron with React
• Using Electron builder to distribute the app

This is the error:

My package.json file:

      "package.json"
    ],
    "directories": {
      "buildResources": "assets"
    }
  }
}

My electron.js file is located in the public folder. This is the content:

const {app, BrowserWindow, Menu} = require("electron");
const isDev = require("electron-is-dev");
const path = require("path");

require("@electron/remote/main").initialize();

function createWindow () {
    const win = new BrowserWindow({
        width: 800,
        height: 600,
        webPreferences: {
            devTools: true,
            enableRemoteModule: true
        }, autoHideMenuBar: true,
    });
    Menu.setApplicationMenu(null);

    win.loadURL(isDev ? "http://localhost:3000" : `file://${path.join(__dirname, "../build/index.html")}`);

}

app.whenReady().then(()=>{
    createWindow();
    app.on("activate", () => {
        if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) {
            createWindow();
        }
    })
});

app.on("window-all-closed", () => {
    if (process.platform !== "darwin") {
        app.quit();
    }
})

I would prefer a solution based on macOS so that I could directly package Windows app on my macOS (M1) machine.
