I can't find a windows exe file after building my tauri app

[felixfavour]

Hi everyone, my Tauri app works just fine on development, and it bundles Mac installation apps perfectly, but I can't find any .exe files in the release folder for Windows apps.

I have very little experience with Tauri and desktop apps in general, so I may be doing something wrong. Please help or point me to any information you believe could help. Thanks.

It should be in target/release/ if you run tauri build and in target/debug/ in if you run tauri build --debug or tauri dev. Note however that this .exe is typically not shippable as-is and instead tauri expects you to ship the nsis or msi installer (in target/debug/bundle/).

If this doesn't help, do these paths exist? If not, then maybe there's a .cargo/config.toml somewhere that's modifying the target dir? If you run tauri build it should tell you where the files are.

This is what my target folder looks like, no .exe, just dmg files.
I should mention my development machine is a mac, does that affect anything?

Ohhh, i misunderstood the question then. Yeah, there's no support for cross-compilation (if we ignore https://tauri.app/v1/guides/building/cross-platform/#experimental-build-windows-apps-on-linux-and-macos ) so you'll only get the bundles for the current platform.

Makes sense, thank you.
