Request Description

Hello,

I cannot find a single example on how to build a windows msi/exe while developing on macos.
How can I achieve that?

Is the https://www.electron.build/multi-platform-build even supported?

Can you put a documentation for that?

Thank you

It might be also a bug, because I have only a windows target in the maker options, but it builds a *.dmg.
Effective config:

directories:
  output: /Users/user/GitHub/app/dist/executables
  buildResources: build
productName: App
copyright: Copyright
electronCompile: false
npmRebuild: true
asar: true
win:
  artifactName: App
  target: nsis
electronVersion: 34.1.1

Hello. Is there anything I can do in such a case?

I do not have a mac pc to test this at the moment.
Multi-platform build is supported, but this might be a bug at this process.
Maybe some members of the community which use a mac could share their experience on the matter.
