Error parsing EntityName from nuspec file

Hey,

I'm getting the following error when trying to build an installer...

Has anyone else seen this? I'm using el-capitan with mono 4.2.3

I am getting the same error. Did you find a solution/fix?

[Thomas101]

Unfortunately not :-(. When I was looking into it someone did suggest that using osx to create windows installers was a bit fraught. I never got around to setting up a windows dev machine with all the bells and whistles to test this though!

Try to use electron-builder instead of windows-installer directly.

[Thomas101]

Thanks for the suggestions @develar will give that a go myself!

Don't use & in the name. This issue will be fixed in electron-builder — https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/517

It's working for me now. Had an "&" in my package.json "description". Removed it and everything works fine now.
