Error creating wixobj file.

[trevwaddell]

Im getting the following error when the compile() method runs:

Unhandled rejection Error: Could not create wixobj file. 
Code: 103 StdErr:  
StdOut: candle.exe : error CNDL0103 : 
The system cannot find the file 'dist\electronwin.wxs' with type 'Source'.

The create method runs and does make a .wxs file though.
Here is repo I'm working with: https://github.com/trevwaddell/electron-wix-test

I'm running this in a windows 10 vm with virtual box. I installed wix toolset and added them to my class path.

I was having this problem, then I changed [outputDirectory: './build'] to [outputDirectory: 'C:/FullpPath/build'], and now it doesn't throw this error.

But I still not running fine by other problems =[

I got it working with the following code

const path = require('path');
const { MSICreator } = require('electron-wix-msi');

const msiCreator = new MSICreator({
	appDirectory: path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'dist', '[ClientName]'),
	outputDirectory: path.resolve(__dirname, '..', 'dist'),

	exe: '[ClientName]',
	name: '[ClientName]',
	description: '[ClientName]',
	manufacturer: '[ClientName]',
	version: '1.0.0'
});

async function build() {
	await msiCreator.create();
	await msiCreator.compile();
}

build().catch(console.error);

Note that I go up one directory because I run this file from <projectRoot>/bin/thisfile.js

Had same problem, changing paths to absolute path names solves it
