Just had this issue also, tried reinstalling node, different node versions, etc.

Found it was getting stuck on fs.remove(tempBase, cb) task.

Deleting …\AppData\Local\Temp\electron-packager fixed it.

Edit: Sorry - that actually got me far enough to see it getting stuck on ‘npm prune --production’ command, which led me to https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17781.

So, for me, it was an issue with npm v5.3.0, downgrading to 5.2.0 seems to have fixed things for me.

@babyChou I had the same problem and I experimented by installing all versions of electron-packager after 7.4.0. After that, I gave one more try with 7.7.0 and it worked. I never figured out why it worked like that. I hope this helps.
