Build App Executable

[yasirrose]

I'm trying to build the executable using npm run package-windows. I have run the npm run build-production first and then npm run build-production. I waited around 2 hours but it's stuck as shown in the screenshot. Is there anything else that is needed apart from these two commands or I'm missing anything here?

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to look into it. Your expertise and guidance would be immensely valuable to me.

Hello. First of all, you use npm, while project working with yarn.
Also, please, check your node & yarn version according to project requirements.
Here is my build log:

Note: switching to 'v3.0.0-RC11'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

HEAD is now at 14b6e04 feat: move windows build to wine

Please, note, that I've used npm version 3.0.0-RC11 command, but you can manually edit package.json and set the version.

[yasirrose]

Thank you very much; your assistance is greatly appreciated. The problem stemmed from the Node.js version, specifically the "version" field, not being correctly defined in the package.json file.
I was using 14.19.0.
