Electron windows installer is not creating the shortcut on desktop

Question

Tried many time and many solution but all give me the same problem. Everything works just fine, the app works and no issues with it, it's just the shourtcut that is not being created on Desktop. I can see from the log files 'EmulateFileIOPermissionChecks' and a message error 'The given path's format is not supported.' but not sure what it means. I experienced the same error with this module "electron-squirrel-startup". Here is what is happening related to SquirrelSetup.log

2018-06-28 17:56:15> Program: Starting Squirrel Updater: --createShortcut C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\myApp\app-0.1.0\myapp.exe

access, String fullPath, Boolean checkForDuplicates, Boolean needFullPath)

checkHost)

And Here is my code:

var handleSquirrelEvent = function() {

if (process.platform != 'win32') {
  return false;
}

function executeSquirrelCommand(args, done) {
  var updateDotExe = path.resolve(path.dirname(process.execPath), '..', 'update.exe');
  var child = cp.spawn(updateDotExe, args, { detached: true });

  child.on('close', function(code) {
     done();
  });
  };

function install(done) {
  var target = path.resolve(process.execPath);
  executeSquirrelCommand(['--createShortcut', target], done);
};

function uninstall(done) {
  var target = path.resolve(process.execPath);
  executeSquirrelCommand(["--removeShortcut", target], done);
};

var squirrelEvent = process.argv[1];

switch (squirrelEvent) {

  case '--squirrel-install':

     install(app.quit);

     return true;

  case '--squirrel-updated':

     install(app.quit);

     return true;

  case '--squirrel-obsolete':

     app.quit();

     return true;

  case '--squirrel-uninstall':
     uninstall(app.quit);
     return true;
}
 return false;
};

if (handleSquirrelEvent()) {
 return;
}
