So one thing which I previously understood that this [quick-start repo](https://github.com/auth0-blog/electron-openid-oauth) is not compatible with electron’s latest version(i.e. 17.1.0), then according to my needs I tailored rest of the project but now it is almost done and I want to package-distribute it or another way I wanted to create an .exe (executable) file of it so that anyone can use it. So I used electron-packager to get it done through this [article/guide](https://www.christianengvall.se/electron-packager-tutorial/). But when I opened my exe file(application) I encountered following error, which is attached below ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/auth0/original/3X/d/c/dc2dcf7eb22efb505c1d0302c6807a39f2e16528.png) ---

Hey there! I would encourage you to raise it as a GitHub issue in the quickstart repo so that you can discuss it directly with the repo maintainer as it seems the most effective way to handle that. ---

Hey @ShubhamMetkar, I’d like to highlight a few things on this issue: 1. The issue you are reporting is not related to a Quickstart but to a tutorial/blog post. Currently, [we don’t have any Electron Quickstarts](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstarts/). 2. As I replied [here](https://community.auth0.com/t/unable-to-logout-from-electron-app-using-auth0/77662), the blog post (and the related repo) uses Electron 9.0, and currently there is no plan to update it to a newer version. The Auth0 integration approach remains the same, but you need to adapt your Electron code to the latest version. As far as I understand, you managed to do it. Excellent! 3. The issue you submitted here and in the [sample project repo](https://github.com/auth0-blog/electron-openid-oauth/issues/25) looks unrelated to Auth0. It is related to `electron-packager`. Although you might find some Auth0 Community members with experience in this tool, there are chances you can more easily receive the proper support on the [electron-packager project](https://github.com/electron/electron-packager). I hope I’ve given you directions to solve your problem more effectively. ---
