Porting Electron-Forge from mac to window produces errors using Make

See original GitHub issue

I keep getting these errors when trying to make appx. This is the app I was originally working on on mac and everything worked. So I tried to port it over to windows made sure electron and electron-forge was all installed globally and begin configuring and running and this is what I keep getting. Not sure if its my config or what.
