I'm currently working on two ReactJs Electron project using the same source code. In case my statement are confusing, I got Product A and Product B on the same source code but the differences between both are the logo and configurations.
When I use electron-builder to generate the executable file, it indeed come out as two different executable and when I install both executable, it did appear as two different application. But the problem is that, when I opened both application, it overwrite the previous installation.
I did assume changing the setAppUserModelId on my electron.js and appId, name and others in package.json will trick Windows into thinking that both project are different but ended up it doesn't.
//electron.js
app.on("ready", () => {
createWindow();
if (process.platform === "win32") {
app.setAppUserModelId("com.product.a"); //similar thing goes to Product B
}
});
//package.json
"build": {
"appId": "com.product.a",
"win": {
"target": "NSIS",
"icon": "build/logo.ico"
}
},
Problem:
I install productA.exe first then install productB.exe, two application did show up as separate application, but when I launch Product A, it shows Product B and when I launch Product B it shows Product B (which doesn't wrong).
Expectation:
What I trying to achieve here is that, when I install productA.exe it shows Product A and when I install productB.exe it shows Product B.
Question:
Did I configure my project wrongly or did I missed out something here?
