When installing the new version after download has finished it raise an error

[Taha-daboussi]

• Electron-Builder Version: ^23.6.0

• Node Version: v18.15.0

• Electron Version:"^23.2.1"

• ** Electron-Updater version** : ^5.3.0

• Target: Win

Hello, my auto-updater was functioning perfectly. However, after making changes to the productName, appId, and artifactName, it seems to have stopped working as expected. On macOS, the updater still works flawlessly, but on Windows, it detects the update, downloads it, and initiates the quitAndInstall process. However, during the installation of the new version, an error occurs, and I'm unable to identify the cause of the error even when launching the application using the command prompt or using the --inspect flag. And also will corrupt my my exe file so I can open the old version I have to reinstall it again from the installer

Please help me diagnose and resolve this issue.

my quit and install code

it is look like your sha512 is incorrect, can you validate the latest.yml file is having the expected sha? @Taha-daboussi
