[Windows] electron-updater is downloading files to C//users/runneradmin instead user folder

[ivukasinovic]

• Electron-Builder Version:

• 24.6.4

• Node Version: 18

• Electron Version:

• 25.1.0

• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly):

• Current

• **electron-updater 6.1.4

• Target:
• Windows

The updater is always creating C://Users/runneradmin and putting there update files instead of the current user folder. I have issues for clients without permission to read files outside their folder.

I checked logs and got this: "Cannot download differentially, fallback to full download: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\runneradmin\AppData\Local\appName

I'm building app on github actions and using keygen as version repository.

Does anyone know whats the issue here?

There's a new property in electron-builder disableDifferentialDownload for nsis. Would you be willing to try that out and see if that resolves the issue? I recognize that it does disable different downloading, but curious if that's the issue or if the entire download/install process has an issue with the target tmp directory
