Squirrel-Install | A script to install the squirrel post commit git hook

It appears that the Group Name where shortcut is created depends on electron-packager supplied metadata company name value. An additional parameter to electron-packager fixed the issue:

'--win32metadata.CompanyName="My Company" '

I believe you actually shouldn't use a Squirrel events to handle this, as documentation stated:

Squirrel will spawn your app with command line flags on first run, updates, and uninstalls. it is very important that your app handle these events as early as possible, and quit immediately after handling them. Squirrel will give your app a short amount of time (~15sec) to apply these operations and quit.

Which isn't suitable for showing terms of use so I'd suggest having a boolean flag in the filesystem indicating if the user has accepted terms of use. Moreover, by storing a flag in filesystem you can avoid situations when your applications were restarted without reading terms of use.

UPDATE: You might want to use electron-builder instead, it supports license dialog for macOS and Windows.

Just a first suggestion - it is not a real answer. I will update as we get more information: if you have the Windows SDK installed you can search for Orca-x86_en-us.msi. Install this MSI and you will get access to "Orca" - an MSI file viewer. Open your MSI in Orca and run validation via Tools -> Validate. Click Go (and perhaps uncheck the tick box for INFO messages). There should be a shortcut to Orca added to your start menu. Please update your answer with any error messages.

Ok, example.created.file already exists in this directory and I suspect that you can only use update.exe supported commands in case '--squirrel-updated' sections. So this will not work.

I finally figured it out.

In your project.json file, the command you use to build your application is where the code will go.

The part you're looking for is --version-string.ProductName=\"My App Name\" and is found in "scripts": { "build": "YOUR CODE HERE"}:

Side note... I'm using electron-packager.

Here's an example using my code:
"pack:win64": "electron-packager ./ --overwrite --asar=true --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --ignore=assets --ignore=build --ignore=installers --icon=./images/icons/icon.ico --prune=true --out=build/win --version-string.ProductName=\"My App Name\""
