Hello I am trying to build a native node module that depends on several .dll files (node-canvas).

I don't know how to build it with asar enabled. It works if you disable asar, but when it's enabled it looks like the node file gets copied to C:/users/name/AppData/Local/Temp without any of the dll files and thus it doesn't work.

How can I copy the dll files to the local/temp folder on installation?

Can you try manually specifying **/*.dll in your files configuration?

Nope it didn't work, I already included all the files in dist with dist/**/* so don't think that's the issue.

Can you share a minimum reproducible repo/gist of the issue? I can then replicate from there and debug
