windows-installer: Windows Installer Hanging on Mono Command

I’m using windows-installer through electron-builder. My installation appears to be hanging at the step seen in https://github.com/electron/windows-installer/blob/master/src/index.js#L151. I’m running windows-installer with the debug flag, and I very quickly get to the output for ‘Created NuSpec file’.

Running ps | grep mono, I see that the mono pack command continues to run indefinitely (At the time of writing this, it’s been going for over 10 minutes). Any ideas what might be causing this? I’m running this on a mac and have installed mono using brew. Mono version is 4.2.0.

Yup - you’re right. it looks like that run actually produced an Installer. Testing it now, but I’m going to close this - it’s definitely gotten past the hanging mono.

I’m not sure what fixed it, but it could be one of the following:

Using asar=true
Clearing and reinstalling all dependencies.
windows-installer updates.

@develar - thanks so much for your help getting through this!
