I faced the same problem and made this workaround (until it is fixed by this pull request https://github.com/electron/windows-installer/pull/378):

1. Run

npm install --ignore-scripts

to install 5.0.0 without running the failing script (select-7z-arch.js).

2. Manually download .dll & .exe file from https://github.com/electron/windows-installer/pull/378 to the node_modules/electron-winstaller/vendor folder and rename them to 7z.exe and 7z.dll.

I resolved this by updating my node version from 16.13.0 -> 16.13.2, seems to have been an issue with node itself and how the os module was working

thanks @AndrewMuise is working 🙂

This is still a problem on Windows with node 16.17.0.

After banging my head against this for a while I finally discovered that I had accidentally installed x86 node instead of x64 node. Once I switched to x64 this problem went away.

MR merged the branch into Master, but then the Master branch was deleted and switched to the Main branch
