Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'combined-stream' executing packaged app

See original GitHub issue

Version: 1.6.11

Target: Debian 9

I am trying to develop an application with Electron, but when I run the compiled file it throws errors indicating that some modules are not found.

@ander7agar Both projects are opensource projects. In the userland. Not backed by Github and not affiliated with GitHub. Because electron-packager is very simple and limited tool (limited by defined/declared scope, I mean only this), no sense for electron-builder to join forces and merge electron-builder and electron-packager.

Download stats (330K vs 98K) and fact, that most of the electron boilerplates uses electron-builder, shows that users prefer to use electron-builder.

This project — electron-builder. Please use electron-builder instead of electron-packager.
