I am building an electron app with electron builder and using regedit package to set and update the values of a user's regsitry , when I am running the electron app on my local server the application works perfectly fine . But when I am packaging the app with electron builder and creating a new release and try to install the app on my machine, I get an error 'Error: vbscript process reported unknown error code 1' and via a try-catch block I got to know that this is occuring when the system tries to set the registry. How do I solve this error in the packaged application ? Do help .
#Unable to set registry key and values

It might be that your vbscript needs administrative permissions..
Or maybe you are not mentioning the script in extraResources to make it accessable in production
In order to set extraResources I have to use setExternalVBSLocation function .But I do not find the definitions of the function in regedit package version 5.1.1 .What is the walkaround for this @exotic island ?
You should en able to bundne the vbscript with your app and set it in extraResources
Doing the same but receiving this error
TypeError: regedit.setExternalVBSLocation is not a function
Hey thanks for the help .It's working now. I called regedit.promisified first and then i was trying to set the location but now I first set in the vbsLocation and called promisfied later on regedit
