Question

I have some problem with electron builder. I always get this errors in console when I try to build windows nsis or portable version of my app
ExecError: /Users/yx/Library/Caches/electron-builder/nsis/nsis-3.0.4.1/mac/makensis exited with code ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE
Error output:

I'm looking on the github repo but the only usggested solution is to downgrade electron builder. I've checked my package.json file and it seems that the installed version of electron builder is "electron-builder": "^21.2.0" but when the build process start it will print a different version inside the vue ui console
INFO Building app with electron-builder:
• electron-builder version=22.9.1 os=17.7.0
• packaging platform=win32 arch=ia32 electron=11.0.3 appOutDir=build/win-ia32-unpacked
•
building target=portable file=build/test-portable.exe archs=ia32
Is there any fix to this problem?

The issue appears on macOS 10.13 and earlier. I don't know about 10.14, but on 10.15 there's no such an issue.
I fixed that by installing electron-builder 22.10.5 (last version which works on old macOS).
If your actual builder version is not the same as in package.json, try
npm r electron-builder
npm i -D electron-builder#22.10.5
