I think it has something to do with the version of rcedit.exe that it’s using. I was able to get it working by copying the version from https://github.com/atom/node-rcedit/raw/master/bin/rcedit.exe to \electron-installer-windows\example\node_modules\electron-installer-windows\vendor\squirrel\rcedit.exe, as mentioned in this issue: https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows/issues/488
