Error while running `electron-builder install-app-deps` with `@electron/rebuild@4.0.1` with Two package.json Structure

[tjcouch-sil]

• electron-builder version: 26.0.12 (though it does not seem to be exclusive to this version)
• electron version: 35.0.2 (though it does not seem to be exclusive to this version)
• @electron/rebuild: 4.0.1 (though I think 4.0.0 also has the problem. It seems 3.7.2 does not have this problem)
• Platform: Windows

Hello electron-builder maintainers!

When I run npx electron-builder install-app-deps with @electron/rebuild@4.0.1, I am encountering an error in which @electron/rebuild seems to be unable to determine the Electron version. Also, in some cases (I can't find particular rhyme or reason as to when or why it flips between these two errors), node-gyp seems to be unable to find a Visual Studio installation. I am using the Two package.json Structure. I can reproduce this issue easily using Electron React Boilerplate with some slight modifications.

This issue does not occur if I run @electron/rebuild directly with electron-rebuild --parallel --types prod,dev,optional --module-dir release/app.

To reproduce:

Either run these manual steps to reproduce on your own (which gives me the "Cannot find Electron" error below):

1. git clone https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/electron-react-boilerplate (as of when I am testing this, main is on commit 0c83f5faa4ba503bdfa6f75e3bc273560f938ccd)
2. cd electron-react-boilerplate
3. npm i
4. npm i -D @electron/rebuild@4.0.1 electron-builder@latest (Installing electron-builder latest because I was sometimes getting errors that node-abi didn't know about the Electron version)
5. cd release/app
6. npm i sqlite3
7. cd ../..
8. npx electron-builder install-app-deps (Produces "Cannot find Electron" error below)
9. npm i -D @electron/rebuild@3.7.1 (the version it was on before changing it)
10. npx electron-builder install-app-deps

Or clone my repo and reproduce:

1. git clone https://github.com/tjcouch-sil/electron-react-boilerplate.git
2. git checkout tjc/rebuild-issue-4.0.1
3. npm i.

The state of the repo on my branch is essentially equivalent to running steps 1-6 from the manual process above. I would expect it to hit the Cannot find Electron error when running npm i (which runs electron-builder install-app-deps in the postinstall), but it doesn't; it hits another error "Cannot find Visual Studio".

Any ideas what's going on with all of this?

Thanks for making this great package. It is very helpful! Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Electron/rebuild 4.x is ESM-only and not supported by electron-builder.

bumps required Node.js version to >=22.12.0. ESM-only.

I'm working separately on migrating electron-builder to node 22.12 and ESM-only so as to support these newer releases of electron/*** packages

Re: "Cannot find Electron version" error. Make sure in your package.json that the version for electron is a pinned value, not a semver range.

This is still an issue. Thanks!

EDIT: I look forward to seeing if the ESM update resolves some of this. Thank you, Mike!
