I had the same issue, I moved my app folder to the root of my hard-drive, and it worked. Electron-builder does not seem to be supporting non-ASCII characters in the path of an app.
unfortunately the problem still persists.
@Eole7 Care to elaborate your solution? I am running into the same issue, not very helpful for my CI.

Well, if you're running the same issue on your CI, my solution might not help you, as I don't have this issue on my CI. Though, the issue I have on local is that when I add the LICENSE key (but from what I've read on other issues, it could be for other reasons) to my NSIS build parameters and that the path of my app contains non-ASCII characters, I get the above error. I moved my app folder to the root directory of my drive and the build was successful.
I had the same problem but only when trying to brand our product with electron-builder in a linux Debian Buster docker container
The solution that we ended up needing is install wine and wine32 for i386 arch
node: v10.15.3
npm: 6.4.1
electron-builder: 22.8.0
we simple added these commands to our Dockerfile:
+ dpkg --add-architecture i386 && \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install <LONG_LIST_OF_PACKAGES_WE_NEED> && \
+ apt-get install wine wine32
The part about needing the wine framework is also detailed in the official docs
This error may also appear when you're trying to build the app while some electron process is running (e.g. after improperly closing the dev server).
Open your task manager and make sure you don't have any running electron processes.
Same here. Above comments are looking not related to my case. I don't know what is wrong.
Solved:
in my case svg app icon did the issue:
"build": {
"compression": "store",
"asar": "true",
"win": {
"target": "portable",
"icon": "./html/img/logo.svg",
"files": ["**/*", "!html/measurements/*"]
},
"directories": {
"app": "."
}
}
Under Linux it cannot be even jpg as i did for windows. It has to be png.
same here, issue was missing icon key in build.linux
Yeah, if you look further down the output there should be a more descriptive error. Mine was
Error while loading icon from "C:\...\resources\uninstallerIcon.ico": invalid icon file
I was able to fix it by opening the image in GIMP and re-saving it.
Same for me, wrong icon path. Got to say electron-builder error reporting is quite awful.
Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.
Still relevant. A missing icon shouldn't produce an unrelated "ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE" which is impossible to debug.
On GitHub actions I am getting the following error:

getting the same error, no clue what the cause is
@jarrodek please open a separate issue, EB error reporting is certainly bad and your error code is indeed the same, but the issues should probably be triaged separately.
@FrancescoBorzi not sure which error you're referring to. Is it related to icons? GitHub actions? Please elaborate when you have a chance 🙂

I'm getting the same error as the title of this issue report ERR_ELECTRON_BUILDER_CANNOT_EXECUTE when trying to build my app locally.
My app is: https://github.com/azerothcore/Keira3
reproduction steps: clone the repo, npm install then npm run electron:mac (replace mac with windows or linux accordingly).
Do I need to open a separate issue for that?
I ran into this error as well. Turned out that it didn't like that I had nvm installed (which had somehow caused a weird state where my global npm was missing and I'd needed to install it with yarn). Removing nvm and reinstalling node fixed it for me.
For me the issue was the high resolution of the icns file for the mac icon (1024x1024), and not having specified an icon for the linux build. For the linux version I added a 512x512.png and added it to the linux config, that solved the issue for me.
I had this trouble today.
I used the below command for packaging app in package.json
"deploy:win32": npx electron-builder --config ./build/scripts/win32/build-win32.yml
After some tries, I've got the fact I was using the global npm's electron-builder, so I changed the command like below :
"deploy:win32": "./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --config ./build/scripts/win32/build-win32.yml",
It works fine now anyway.
For me, the cause was using a monorepo in which the package name was @whatever/subrepo on package.json.
For the linux build, the executable name is taken from there. So the fix for me was
linux: {
executableName: 'simple-name',
},
For me It was because of the last build process I've terminated with CTRL + C.
This was the error code I was getting.
Error output:
Bad text encoding: uninstaller.nsh:1
!include: error in script: "uninstaller.nsh" on line 1
Error in script "<stdin>" on line 165 -- aborting creation process
The solution is just re-install the electron-builder.
npm uninstall electron-builder -g
npm install electron-builder -g --save-dev
I was having the same problem.
Apparently electron-builder does blind copy without checking if directories in target path exist and doesn't even try to create them, which raises the exception.
I created all the non-existing directories in target path [/resources] so that it can copy and it worked.
For me npm exec electron-builder ... worked inside the package.json scripts
If you run npx electron-builder, electron-builder will mistakenly use npx as a package manager and try to use it to install dependencies.
This problem may caused by the 'installIcon' config in nsis. Delete it to see if it works
Solved for me, the issue was that I had a process still using something in the /dist folder. I closed everything and then deleted the dist directory. Running the command again worked first time.
I for myself had this issue when using the name variable inside the appId build-property. Linux and macOS seemed fine with this, but the Windows build was unable to resolve that variable.
{
"build": {
"appId": "com.electron.${name}"
}
}As it looks like the issue can be caused by a multitude of different configurations, this possibly is not working for anyone of you. Just wanted to leave my solution out there in case someone also uses a variable inside his appId.
I'm getting the same error suddenly. Possibly after upgrading MacOS to 12.5 (Monterey).

I tried clearing my /dist folder as suggested above.
But I still get the following error. Any new ideas?

I know it sounds dumb, but did you try deleting the dist folder entirely? I get this error every time the dist folder isn't deleted. I'm also building on windows so I'm not sure if this will help you.
I started having this issue upgrading from yarn 1 to yarn 3, however, the exception I'm getting is very generic making it very difficult to understand what exactly is going wrong.

It appears that electron-builder only supports yarn 1 as it is now. But you can't use both yarn 1 and yarn 2 in one project like this...
Yarn 2 is supported from what I understand, just monorepos don't work IIRC? It's been a hot minute since I worked in this category, but here's the code that checks for yarn 2

The challenge/issue here is that the electron-builder has some functionality for which we use the dual package.json method. However, as soon as you use this method, yarn stumbles and can cause this error. I suspect others are also using a dual package.json method.

Hi, everyone:
I have a problem with electron builds, and when I run on my linux server, I always successfully use user "root" or user "xxy". But I created a CI with jenkins and connected it to user xxy, which prints this error message. I am sure my user 'xxy' has access because I can set up success when I log in to user 'xxy'.

@GuilhermeAnselmodeSa your issue is different and also explicitly described in your error message
configuration.directories has an unknown property 'win'. These properties are valid:
object { app?, buildResources?, output? }
Closing this ticket as the posts in here are all different issues for a generic error code when electron-builder "can't execute".
For anyone still battling with this issue make sure that the value of build.appId matches with the name property in your package.json
For example: (package.json file)
{
name: "hello",
build: {
appId: "com.electron.hello"
}
}
Notice how they both have the name "hello". This fixed the issue for me.
I had the same issue, I moved my app folder to the root of my hard-drive, and it worked. Electron-builder does not seem to be supporting non-ASCII characters in the path of an app.
In my case it was my project path being to long.
Moving it closer to the root file system resolved the issue. This seems to be a windows issue of some kind
