How to create msi on Mac

The easiest option is to use the msi-packager utility 

The installer has no wizard. Users just run the installer and your app will be installed and shortcuts created.

You must have wixl from msitools available in your path.

brew install msitools

npm install msi-packager

var createMsi = require('./')

 

var options = {

 

  // required

  source: '/Users/matt/Code/loop/loopjs-packager/build/Loop Drop-win32',

  output: '/Users/matt/Code/loop/loopjs-packager/releases/Loop Drop v1.0.0.msi',

  name: 'Loop Drop',

  upgradeCode: 'YOUR-GUID-HERE',

  version: '1.0.0',

  manufacturer: 'loopjs.com',

  iconPath: '/Users/matt/Code/loop/loopjs-packager/icon.ico',

  executable: 'Loop Drop.exe',

 

  // optional

  description: "Some description",

  arch: 'x86',

  localInstall: true

 

}

 

createMsi(options, function (err) {

  if (err) throw err

  console.log('Outputed to ' + options.output)

})

There was a file system callback issue, but then it cleared after making some changes inside npm
