[Auto-Update Windows] Error: New version x.x.x is not signed by the application owner

See original GitHub issue

Version: 19.19.1

Target: win (nsis ia32 and x64)

It seems that “Sign verification” failed for auto-update on Windows when the certificate owner content accents or special chars.

Il my case the certificat owner is fake name with é char and then content a “é” char !

My app-update.yml publisherName is : fake name with \xC3\xA9 char And the electron-auto-updater logs display the certificate Subject like this : fake name with � char

For now, I use this workaround to make the auto-update works : I set "publisherName": "fake name with � char" in the package.json build settings for windows.
