Update: Oh, I see that auto updating is not yet supported in dev. Consider this a +1 for #1254

I’m getting the same problem with the following installed:

Version: electron: 1.4.15 electron-builder: 14.4.0 electron-updater: 1.9.0
Target: windows

I’m building using electron-builder with the following: build --win --x64 --ia32
