Confirm that the above procedure works on Mac (on Linux other errors occur related to other issues already reported).

I’m getting this issue on Mac and Windows. Not Linux. Also found it works on 19.53.2 and not 19.53.3

relevant extract from a travis build to help other searchers:

 • downloading     path=/Users/travis/Library/Caches/electron-builder/app-builder/app-builder-v0.4.0-x64 url=https://github.com/develar/app-builder/releases/download/v0.4.0/app-builder-v0.4.0-mac.7z
Error: Exit code: ENOENT. spawn /Users/travis/Library/Caches/electron-builder/app-builder/app-builder-v0.4.0-x64/app-builder ENOENT

I am also having this issue. I did a little investigation and it seems that 19.53.3 is the first version with this issue. Let me know if I can help debug.
