Basically, the installer isn't building the game folder correctly (omits webview dll) which results in an error building the installer.exe.

Can resolve manually by copying the contents of the bin folder into the game folder and re-running the build script.

Error for completeness:
/*
File: "Kinfolk\WebView2Loader.dll" -> no files found.
Usage: File [/nonfatal] [/a] ([/r] [/x filespec [...]] filespec [...] |
   /oname=outfile one_file_only)
!include: error in script: "install.nsh" on line 121
Error in script "C:\Users\folak\Desktop\The Town\byondexe\kinfolk.nsi" on line 10 -- aborting creation process

I don't think this was an error in the installer. The install.nsh script is correct as of 516.1659, and dreamseeker.exe is correctly told that it needs WebView2Loader.dll. I believe this was a result of the way the files got moved around in your setup.

Which isn't to say the byondexe tool is perfect by any stretch, because these kinds of situations come up way too much.

hrm.
I copied in the bin and nsh script from the latest byondexe files from 1659.
but maybe. I'll confirm this with a vanilla byondexe and will post here with whether or not it works.

I can confirm that this does not happen when I drop the files into a fresh copy of BYONDexe.
Sorry for the troubles lumbum
