I have made a SO thread, in which I planned to describe my progress while solving the challenge about how to deploy the NW application. I have made good progress, and I believe that thread is now old for a new challenge that I have.
In short, I have NW application that hosts Hapi.js, React.js and Sequelize. I made an installer using Innosetup. And that works like a charm. New challenge is as follows: If a user selects a long installation directory such as:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\MyAppName
Depending on the user name, my installation cant be completed. If the "USERNAME" is short, such as "aa" then it will work, how ever having a full name will not, such as "John Smith".
One solution is to force user to install it on c:\myapplicationname, but client doe not like that idea. Requirement is to have it "installable" anywhere on the system.
I have identifed several node modules, that have over 4 level depth (node_module...\node_module...\node_module) and installer stops right there.
How can I overcome this problem? Does anyone have informaiton regarding NW and NPM3 flat file system?
