Any update on this? Is there any maintainer alive? Currently, there seems to be no workaround for developers who need to be on the newest Electron version.

@sidneys i guess it is only difference is that my target is windows …

I had the same problem with Electron: 7.1 and electron-builder: 21.2.

I created a fork of electron-builder 21.2 and reverted commit 39e6783 and then the auto-update worked again. So for me, something in that particular commit was problematic. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about Windows/NSIS to say what exactly.

@iJosephY Yes, it is strange, there might be other things interfering. Possibly during dependency resolution. I have been able to see that it works also for electron 6.1.6. But as soon as I pass to electron 7, it breaks.
