I think this is a good level of complexity for `electron-packager`, so I think someone else should write a e.g. `electron-create-installer` module or something similar that is a CLI tool that is Unix Philosophy friendly (like this module and the other `electron-*` modules I've been working on).\r\n\r\nresources/existing solutions:\r\n\r\n- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372463(v=vs.85).aspx\r\n- https://github.com/Aluxian/Facebook-Messenger-Desktop/tree/master/assets-windows\r\n- https://github.com/atom/grunt-electron-installer\r\n- https://github.com/domderen/atom-shell-installer\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/maxogden/electron-packager/issues/comments/182324033","html_url":"https://github.com/maxogden/electron-packager/issues/33#issuecomment-182324033","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/maxogden/electron-packager/issues/33","id":182324033,"user":{"login":"stefanjudis","id":962099,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/962099?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis","html_url":"https://github.com/stefanjudis","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/stefanjudis/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-10T11:26:33Z","updated_at":"2016-02-10T11:26:33Z","body":"> that I need squirrel-windows installer \r\n\r\nThis will be implemented soon when this https://github.com/electronjs/windows-installer is officially released and we already have a filed issue for that.\r\n\r\nLinux installers are also included now.\r\n\r\nThe only thing that makes me sad, is the creation of a concurrent project which has several contributors and already gained some traction. \r\nContributing to an existent project doesn't increase noise for users ( like the confusion for windows installers - where I had to scan 5 projects that do the same ), reduces number of concurrent projects and helps existent projects.\r\n\r\nAs we'll implement the official squirrel thingy we'll end up with two similar projects. :(\r\n\r\nNever the less. Good luck with that one."}}
