Quick Fix for Windows Build Issues

Try the Simplified Build Script

If build-desktop.bat stops working, use the simplified version:

scripts\build-desktop-simple.bat

This version:

Uses simpler logic (no delayed expansion issues)
Has better debug output
More reliable on Windows

If That Doesn't Work

Step 1: Manual Build

cd desktop
npm install
npx electron-builder --win

Step 2: Check What's Missing

Run the test script:

scripts\test-build-desktop.bat

This will show exactly what's wrong.

Step 3: Common Fixes

Exclude node_modules from OneDrive
- Right-click desktop\node_modules
- Choose "Always keep on this device"

Reinstall Dependencies

cd desktop
rmdir /s /q node_modules
del package-lock.json
npm install

Fix Script Issues
```
scripts\fix-windows-build.bat
```

Debugging

If the script stops after "npm version", check:

Is node_modules missing or corrupted?
Are there OneDrive file locks?
Does npx work? Try: npx --version

Last Resort: Use the PowerShell script:

.\scripts\build-desktop-windows.ps1
