# Electron Installer

[![AppVeyor Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/bq6c06suq5abb66s/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/electron-bot/windows-installer/branch/master)
[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/electron/windows-installer.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/electron/windows-installer)

NPM module that builds Windows installers for
[Electron](https://github.com/electron/electron) apps using
[Squirrel](https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows).

## Installing

```sh
npm install --save-dev electron-winstaller
```

## Usage

Require the package:

```javascript
const electronInstaller = require('electron-winstaller');
```

Then do a build like so..

```javascript
// NB: Use this syntax within an async function, Node does not have support for
//     top-level await as of Node 12.
try {
  await electronInstaller.createWindowsInstaller({
    appDirectory: '/tmp/build/my-app-64',
    outputDirectory: '/tmp/build/installer64',
    authors: 'My App Inc.',
    exe: 'myapp.exe'
  });
  console.log('It worked!');
} catch (e) {
  console.log(`No dice: ${e.message}`);
}
```

After running you will have an `.nupkg`, a
`RELEASES` file, and a `.exe` installer file in the `outputDirectory` folder
for each multi task target given under the config entry.

There are several configuration settings supported:

| Config Name           | Required | Description |
| --------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `appDirectory`        | Yes      | The folder path of your Electron app |
| `outputDirectory`     | No       | The folder path to create the `.exe` installer in. Defaults to the `installer` folder at the project root. |
| `loadingGif`          | No       | The local path to a `.gif` file to display during install. |
| `authors`             | Yes      | The authors value for the nuget package metadata. Defaults to the `author` field from your app's package.json file when unspecified. |
| `owners`              | No       | The owners value for the nuget package metadata. Defaults to the `authors` field when unspecified. |
| `exe`                 | No       | The name of your app's main `.exe` file. This uses the `name` field in your app's package.json file with an added `.exe` extension when unspecified. |
| `description`         | No       | The description value for the nuget package metadata. Defaults to the `description` field from your app's package.json file when unspecified. |
| `version`             | No       | The version value for the nuget package metadata. Defaults to the `version` field from your app's package.json file when unspecified. |
| `title`               | No       | The title value for the nuget package metadata. Defaults to the `productName` field and then the `name` field from your app's package.json file when unspecified. |
| `name`                | No      | Windows Application Model ID (appId). Defaults to the `name` field in your app's package.json file. |
| `certificateFile`     | No       | The path to an Authenticode Code Signing Certificate |
| `certificatePassword` | No       | The password to decrypt the certificate given in `certificateFile` |
| `signWithParams`      | No       | Params to pass to signtool.  Overrides `certificateFile` and `certificatePassword`. |
| `iconUrl`             | No       | A URL to an ICO file to use as the application icon (displayed in Control Panel > Programs and Features). Defaults to the Atom icon. |
| `setupIcon`           | No       | The ICO file to use as the icon for the generated Setup.exe |
| `skipUpdateIcon`      | No       | Disables setting the icon of `Update.exe`. This can solve installation errors with the following message: "This application could not be started", when the setup is built on a non-Windows system. |
| `setupExe`            | No       | The name to use for the generated Setup.exe file |
| `setupMsi`            | No       | The name to use for the generated Setup.msi file |
| `noMsi`               | No       | Should Squirrel.Windows create an MSI installer? |
| `noDelta`             | No       | Should Squirrel.Windows delta packages? (disable only if necessary, they are a Good Thing) |
| `remoteReleases`      | No       | A URL to your existing updates. If given, these will be downloaded to create delta updates |
| `remoteToken`         | No       | Authentication token for remote updates |
| `frameworkVersion`    | No       | Set the required .NET framework version, e.g. `net461` |

## Sign your installer or else bad things will happen

For development / internal use, creating installers without a signature is okay, but for a production app you need to sign your application. Internet Explorer's SmartScreen filter will block your app from being downloaded, and many anti-virus vendors will consider your app as malware unless you obtain a valid cert.

Any certificate valid for "Authenticode Code Signing" will work here, but if you get the right kind of code certificate, you can also opt-in to [Windows Error Reporting](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Error_Reporting). [This MSDN page](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh801887.aspx) has the latest links on where to get a WER-compatible certificate. The "Standard Code Signing" certificate is sufficient for this purpose.

## Handling Squirrel Events

Squirrel will spawn your app with command line flags on first run, updates,
and uninstalls. it is **very** important that your app handle these events as _early_
as possible, and quit **immediately** after handling them. Squirrel will give your
app a short amount of time (~15sec) to apply these operations and quit.

The [electron-squirrel-startup](https://github.com/mongodb-js/electron-squirrel-startup) module will handle
the most common events for you, such as managing desktop shortcuts. Add the following to the top
of your `main.js` and you're good to go:

```javascript
if (require('electron-squirrel-startup')) return;
```

You should handle these events in your app's `main` entry point with something
such as:

```javascript
const app = require('app');

// this should be placed at top of main.js to handle setup events quickly
if (handleSquirrelEvent()) {
  // squirrel event handled and app will exit in 1000ms, so don't do anything else
  return;
}

function handleSquirrelEvent() {
  if (process.argv.length === 1) {
    return false;
  }

  const ChildProcess = require('child_process');
  const path = require('path');

  const appFolder = path.resolve(process.execPath, '..');
  const rootAtomFolder = path.resolve(appFolder, '..');
  const updateDotExe = path.resolve(path.join(rootAtomFolder, 'Update.exe'));
  const exeName = path.basename(process.execPath);

  const spawn = function(command, args) {
    let spawnedProcess, error;

    try {
      spawnedProcess = ChildProcess.spawn(command, args, {detached: true});
    } catch (error) {}

    return spawnedProcess;
  };

  const spawnUpdate = function(args) {
    return spawn(updateDotExe, args);
  };

  const squirrelEvent = process.argv[1];
  switch (squirrelEvent) {
    case '--squirrel-install':
    case '--squirrel-updated':
      // Optionally do things such as:
      // - Add your .exe to the PATH
      // - Write to the registry for things like file associations and
      //   explorer context menus

      // Install desktop and start menu shortcuts
      spawnUpdate(['--createShortcut', exeName]);

      setTimeout(app.quit, 1000);
      return true;

    case '--squirrel-uninstall':
      // Undo anything you did in the --squirrel-install and
      // --squirrel-updated handlers

      // Remove desktop and start menu shortcuts
      spawnUpdate(['--removeShortcut', exeName]);

      setTimeout(app.quit, 1000);
      return true;

    case '--squirrel-obsolete':
      // This is called on the outgoing version of your app before
      // we update to the new version - it's the opposite of
      // --squirrel-updated

      app.quit();
      return true;
  }
};
```

Notice that the first time the installer launches your app, your app will see a `--squirrel-firstrun` flag. This allows you to do things like showing up a splash screen or presenting a settings UI. Another thing to be aware of is that, since the app is spawned by squirrel and squirrel acquires a file lock during installation, you won't be able to successfully check for app updates till a few seconds later when squirrel releases the lock.

## Debugging this package

You can get debug messages from this package by running with the environment variable `DEBUG=electron-windows-installer:main` e.g.
