Execute an exe(Inside Project structure) in Electron

Question

While in developing mode, executing the exe is working well.

My code to launch the exe is

function LaunchExe() {
        var child = require('child_process').execFile;
        var executablePath = 'DemoExe/Sample.exe';
        var parameters = ['Hai', 'Test', 'Dat'];
        child(executablePath, parameters, function (err, data) {
            console.log(err)
            console.log(data.toString());
        });
}

But after packaging the Electron app, I can't launch the exe.

The command I use to build the exe is

electron-packager . --asar

Error code

 Error: spawn DemoExe/Sample.exe ENOENT
     at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:232)
     at onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:407)
     at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63)

Regards.
