file permission errors in updater with 22.1.0

See original GitHub issue

Version: 22.1.0
electron-updater: 4.2
Target: mac and windows

Both Mac and Windows seem to give issues updating because of file permissions (or timing?) using the above combination.

Mac:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename '/Users/admin/Library/Application Support/Caches/polypane-updater/pending/temp-Polypane-2.0.1-mac.zip' -> '/Users/admin/Library/Application Support/Caches/polypane-updater/pending/Polypane-2.0.1-mac.zip'

Windows:

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\polypane-updater\pending\temp-Polypane-Setup-2.0.1.exe'

Followed by

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename 'C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\polypane-updater\pending\temp-Polypane-Setup-2.0.1.exe' -> 'C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\polypane-updater\pending\Polypane-Setup-2.0.1.exe'

We do set autoUpdater.autoDownload = false and use the autoUpdater.downloadUpdate() and still receive this error:

EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\<app>-updater\pending\0-temp-<app>-win.exe'

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
