During installation, append
ipfs-desktop/assets/bin-win
to thePATH
on Windows. It's also removed during installation. The directory contains a script that executes our bin script that redirects the arguments to the actual binary. That way we have some flexibility about what we can do in the future.The code used to manipulate the
PATH
comes from this resources:Also, I had to disable "warnings as errors" because Electron Builder is using Macros for custom install and uninstall sections so when building the installer, NSIS didn't know if we were calling the functions in the correct places. It threw a warning that was treated as an error. Not anymore.
Addresses #727.
