License Agreement in Windows Installer

[cbairy]

I am trying to show EULA (license agreement) in windows electron application. I have LICENSE.txt under the root of my project. This license agreement is not shown while we install the application. Is there a way to configure "electronWinstallerConfig" so that we can show a license agreement while we install Squirrel Windows application?

I am using electron-forge version 5.x.

My package.json looks like
{
"name": "MyApp",
"productName": "MyApp",
"version": "1.0.11",
"description": "My Electron application description",
"main": "src/index.js",
"scripts": {

}
}

Application folder structure looks like:
MyApp
--package.json
--LICENSE.txt
--src
--node_modules
--out
--.compilerc
--.eslintrc
I checked the usage of electron-winstaller in
https://github.com/electron/windows-installer#usage and did not see any necessary documentation to include license in the setting up of the application.

Am I missing any other configuration or is there a way to show license agreement by writing a script inside index.js just like we do for autoUpadte?

Someone else researched this for another Squirrel installer module last week for a different reason: electron-userland/electron-installer-windows#261 (comment)

The answer is basically that you need to handle this in your app, inside your main process.
