How to update registry data in electron after project build?

Question

HTML

Greetings to all, the question is that after building the project on electron - updating the data in the registry does not work, running as administrator did not help. If you do not collect the project - everything works perfectly.

Here is my code that doesn't work after building the project - regedit.putValue.

ipcMain.on('nickname', (events, arg) => 
    {
        fs.writeFileSync(config_path, arg, 'utf-8');
        regedit.putValue(
        {
            'HKCU\\Software\\SAMP': {
                'PlayerName': {
                    type: 'REG_SZ',
                    value: arg
                }
            }
        }, 
        function(err) {
            console.log('regedit error: ' + err);
        });
    });

look in debug mode what's in the log, most likely the package is not transferred to the application folder
or

This software uses Windows Script Host to read and write to the registry. For that purpose, it will execute .wsf files. When packaging the app's dependencies with ASAR, node-regedit will not be able to access the windows script files, because they are bundled in a single ASAR file. Therefore it is necessary to store the .wsf files elsewhere, outside of the packaged asar file. You can set your custom location for the files with setExternalVBSLocation(location):

// Assuming the files lie in <app>/resources/my-location
const vbsDirectory = path.join(path.dirname(electron.remote.app.getPath('exe')), './resources/my-location');
regedit.setExternalVBSLocation(vbsDirectory);
