Ionic/Electron App not building msi installer

Question

I have an ionic/electron app that I can run without issue. I am now trying to build it into an executable installer.

This is the electron-builder.config.json file

{
  "appId": "com.yourdoamnin.yourapp",
  "directories": {
    "buildResources": "resources"
  },
  "files": [
    "assets/**/*",
    "build/**/*",
    "capacitor.config.*",
    "app/**/*"
  ],
  "publish": {
    "provider": "github"
  },
  "nsis": {
    "createDesktopShortcut": true,
    "runAfterFinish": true,
    "installerIcon": "assets/appIcon.ico",
    "allowElevation": true,
    "oneClick": true,
    "allowToChangeInstallationDirectory": false
  },
  "win": {
    "target": "msi",
    "icon": "assets/appIcon.ico"
  }
}

and in my electron/package.json I have:

"scripts": {
    "build": "tsc",
    "electron:start-live": "node ./live-runner.js",
    "electron:start": "electron --inspect=5858 ./",
    "electron:pack": "electron-builder --win --dir -c ./electron-builder.config.json",
    "electron:make": "electron-builder build -c ./electron-builder.config.json -p always"
  }

when I run the command electron:pack it creates the dist folder with 2 yaml files and 1 folder called win-unpacked. Is there something I am missing because I was expecting it to build an installer. I have tried both .exe and .msi "target" with no luck.
