The top-level win key contains set of options instructing electron-builder on how it should build Windows targets. These options applicable for any Windows target.

• target = nsis String | TargetConfiguration - The target package type: list of nsis, nsis-web (Web installer), portable (portable app without installation), appx, squirrel, 7z, zip, tar.xz, tar.lz, tar.gz, tar.bz2, dir. AppX package can be built only on Windows 10.

  To use Squirrel.Windows please install electron-builder-squirrel-windows dependency.

  For portable app, PORTABLE_EXECUTABLE_DIR env is set (dir where portable executable located).

• icon = build/icon.ico String - The path to application icon.
• legalTrademarks String - The trademarks and registered trademarks.

• signingHashAlgorithms = ['sha1', 'sha256'] Array<"sha1" | "sha256"> - Array of signing algorithms used. For AppX sha256 is always used.
• sign String | (configuration: CustomWindowsSignTaskConfiguration) => Promise - The custom function (or path to file or module id) to sign Windows executable.
• certificateFile String - The path to the *.pfx certificate you want to sign with. Please use it only if you cannot use env variable CSC_LINK (WIN_CSC_LINK) for some reason. Please see Code Signing.
• certificatePassword String - The password to the certificate provided in certificateFile. Please use it only if you cannot use env variable CSC_KEY_PASSWORD (WIN_CSC_KEY_PASSWORD) for some reason. Please see Code Signing.
• certificateSubjectName String - The name of the subject of the signing certificate. Required only for EV Code Signing and works only on Windows (or on macOS if Parallels Desktop Windows 10 virtual machines exits).
• certificateSha1 String - The SHA1 hash of the signing certificate. The SHA1 hash is commonly specified when multiple certificates satisfy the criteria specified by the remaining switches. Works only on Windows (or on macOS if Parallels Desktop Windows 10 virtual machines exits).
• additionalCertificateFile String - The path to an additional certificate file you want to add to the signature block.
• rfc3161TimeStampServer = http://timestamp.comodoca.com/rfc3161 String - The URL of the RFC 3161 time stamp server.
• timeStampServer = http://timestamp.verisign.com/scripts/timstamp.dll String - The URL of the time stamp server.

• publisherName String | Array<String> - The publisher name, exactly as in your code signed certificate. Several names can be provided. Defaults to common name from your code signing certificate.
• verifyUpdateCodeSignature = true Boolean - Whether to verify the signature of an available update before installation. The publisher name will be used for the signature verification.
• requestedExecutionLevel = asInvoker "asInvoker" | "highestAvailable" | "requireAdministrator" - The security level at which the application requests to be executed. Cannot be specified per target, allowed only in the win.

Common Questions

How do delegate code signing?

Use sign option.

"win": {
  "sign": "./customSign.js"
}

File customSign.js in the project root directory:

exports.default = async function(configuration) {
  // your custom code
}

How do create Parallels Windows 10 Virtual Machine?

You don't need to have Windows 10 license. Free is provided (expire after 90 days, but it is not a problem because no additional setup is required).

1. Open Parallels Desktop.
2. File -> New.
3. Select "Modern.IE" in the "Free Systems".
4. Continue, Continue, Accept software license agreement.
5. Select "Microsoft Edge on Windows 10".
6. The next steps are general, see Installing Windows on your Mac using Parallels Desktop from "Step 6: Specify a name and location".

Parallels Windows 10 VM will be used automatically to build AppX on macOS. No need even start VM — it will be started automatically on demand and suspended after build. No need to specify VM — it will be detected automatically (first Windows 10 VM will be used).

How do create VirtualBox Windows 10 Virtual Machine?

If you are not on macOS or don't want to buy Parallels Desktop, you can use free VirtualBox.

1. Open Download virtual machines.
2. Select "MSEdge on Win10 (x64) Stable".
3. Select "VirtualBox" platform.
4. Download. See installation instructions.

The password to your VM is Passw0rd!.

VirtualBox is not supported by electron-builder for now, so, you need to setup build environment on Windows if you want to use VirtualBox to build AppX (and other Windows-only tasks).
