Please run it with the --verbose flag as well and show us the new logs you get from that.

Yes, it is --verbose is very helpful. I found that the error was caused by executing the makensis command instead of a missing file. I solved it by using brew install makensis, successfully solved the packaging problem.

Running [tauri_bundler::utils] Command makensis -INPUTCHARSET UTF8 -OUTPUTCHARSET UTF8 -V3 /test/src-tauri/target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/nsis/x64/installer.nsi

However, when I installed it on windows server 2022 and tried to run it, I got an error that WebView2Loader.dll could not be found. The WebView2Loader.dll file was forgotten in src-tauri/target/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu/release/ and was not packaged into setup.exe. When I tried to put WebView2Loader.dll in the Windows software installation directory, it could start normally. How can I solve the WebView2Loader.dll packaging problem?
