Answer 1

In my case, the issue was trying to execute an Electron app on Windows that was built (for Windows) using Linux. I solved by building it (for Windows) using Windows.

To build it on windows I used the following commands:

npm install --global-production windows-build-tools
npm install
npm run build:prod && electron-builder build --windows

To execute the last command you need electron-builder, install it if you do not have with

npm install --save-dev electron-builder
