Hi, thanks for reporting this. I'll try to fix this in a new release.
As a workaround, always make sure that your package.json author field is an object containing a url, or if it's a string, make sure it has a url wrapped around parenthesis.
You can read about how it should be done here: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#people-fields-author-contributors

thanks for the quick answer.
I will fix my package.json per your recommendations.

OutputDirectory

You could probably go to the node_modules -> electron-windows-installer -> install.js file and modify the path to the muon-quick.exe. Just look for OutputDirectory in the installer.js file.

I am currently getting the following error. Any help would be great. I have already moved everything to my c drive and tried to change the paths in the installer.js file.

This bug has been closed for a while. The originally reported error has been fixed. If you believe that you found a bug in our code, please open a new issue. If you're asking for help on how to use the module, and why it's not working for you, Github issues is not the place for that.

@VishalChauha your problem is related to the name that electron-packager is creating. Use the executable-name option when running electron-packager so your exe has the appropiate name.
The suggestions from @ksummersill2 is dangerous and not the way things should be done. Your question has been addressed many times in a few issues that have been closed already.
