You can get debug messages from this package by running with the environment variable DEBUG=electron-windows-installer:main e.g. Another thing to be aware of is that, since the app is spawned by squirrel and squirrel acquires a file lock during installation, you won't be able to successfully check for app updates till a few seconds later when squirrel releases the lock. This allows you to do things like showing up a splash screen or presenting a settings UI. Notice that the first time the installer launches your app, your app will see a -squirrel-firstrun flag.
