> Hi @TotallyInformation I actually managed it using pkg. by adding this package.json [image] Then run "pkg ." It has 3 outputs for different OS: then I can use the .exe file on my command prompt, I just need to put --userDir arguments. [image] And it works just like "npm start" on your alternate-installer. The advantage of doing this is you just have to copy the node-red-master-win.exe to any other computer along with the "data" folder. and you can run node-red on any computer …

Not sure that ever got resolved and without further input, the thread auto-closed.
