I have created simplest electron app from official Quick Start Guide.
I am able to create installer also using electron-builder

Now I want to try customUnInstall macro of NSIS option given at https://www.electron.build/configuration/nsis

My installer.nsh file is

!macro customUnInstall
  !echo "test output"
!macroend

My package.json file is

{
    "name": "my-electron-app",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "author": "your name",
    "description": "My Electron app",
    "main": "main.js",
    "scripts": {
        "start": "electron .",
        "pack": "electron-builder --dir",
        "dist": "electron-builder"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "electron": "^12.0.1",
        "electron-builder": "^22.10.5"
    },
    "build": {
        "nsis": {
          "include": "installer.nsh"
        }
      }
}

Where can I see output of line !echo "test output" in installer.nsh?
Currently I am not seeing any output message or dialogue in case of running uninstaller.

!echo prints a message in the compiler, use DetailPrint or MessageBox to display something in the installer/uninstaller.

e.g.

!macro customUnInstall
  MessageBox MB_OK "Test output"
!macroend
