build for certain platform trouble

[jbryant32]

any idea how i can set the build to a windows x86 compatible exe ?

We are now producing just x64 exes, right? I guess our Build-Command needs some more options. I will try to work on it soon.

Ok i was trying to adjust the settings the builder json but did not work

Following my idea: For Electron.NET we need 2 different "build-targets". The first one is for the .NET Core app. Those target environments are described in the "Runtime ID catalog".
The electron packer itself has another target runtime identifier - described here.

Currently we only support a very generic surface on this via the "build win/osx/linux" parameter. My plan would be to allow a "custom" environment like this:

build custom="win-x86;win32" 

The first parameter would be for the .NET Core RID and the second one for the packer. This way you could customize everything.

Would this be OK?

We released a new version and now support addional params like this (for a x86 application)
dotnet electronize build /target custom win7-x86;win32 /electron-arch ia32

Please update the CLI to version 0.0.9

If this doesn't work, please give feedback. Thanks!
