Quick Fix for Symbolic Link Error

The Problem

electron-builder is still downloading winCodeSign tools even with code signing disabled, causing symbolic link errors.

⚡ Quick Fix (3 Steps)

Step 1: Clear Cache

scripts\clear-all-electron-cache.bat

Or in Git Bash:

./scripts/clear-all-electron-cache.sh

Step 2: Enable Developer Mode (One Time)

Press Win + I
Go to Privacy & Security → For developers
Turn on Developer Mode
Restart your terminal

Step 3: Build Again

scripts\build-desktop-simple.bat

🔧 Alternative: Use Environment Variable

Before building, set this environment variable:

Command Prompt:

set CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false
scripts\build-desktop-simple.bat

PowerShell:

$env:CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY="false"
.\scripts\build-desktop-windows.ps1

Git Bash:

export CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false
./scripts/build-desktop.sh

The build scripts now automatically set this variable, but if issues persist, set it manually.

✅ What's Already Fixed

desktop/package.json has sign: null to disable code signing
Build scripts now set CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false automatically
Cache clearing scripts created
All build scripts updated

📋 Why This Works

CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false tells electron-builder to completely skip code signing, preventing it from downloading winCodeSign tools that cause symlink issues.

TL;DR: Clear cache + Enable Developer Mode = Problem solved!
