How can a file be ignored in setup if it already exists in the destination folder like- "onlyifdoesntexist" flag in InnoSetup Also, how can we create an MSI package from the electronize build

@danatcofo thanks for the script installer, I was checking of the electronize build supports anything like this, also is there any option to create MSI

according to this documentation, electron-builder does support the msi type

Hi @danatcofo the article was helpful, thanks for it, I was able to build MSI, however still not able to accomplish "onlyifdoesntexist" using electron builder

Sorry cant help you there, id recommend asking in the electron builder space rather than here. You will probably find an answer there as its focused on those issues.

@vinaykulkarni89 - how were you able to create a MSI?
