cypress: Cypress not running after installing on windows 32bit

Bug:

After the installation through npm I tried to open cypress. It fails with the following error message:

Stack trace:

C:\Users\froeh\Development\werkstatt-app>node node_modules//cypress/bin/cypress open
It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 1.0.2

 ×  Verifying Cypress can run C:\Users\froeh\Development\werkstatt-app\node_modules\cypress\dist\Cypress
   → spawn UNKNOWN
An unexpected error occurred while verifying the Cypress executable.

@AlxndrMlk Please try open it by adding

"scripts": {
    "cypress": "cypress"
  },

into your package.json file and run it by executing npm run cypress open

We have fixed this by also building for Windows 32-bit.

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#3877, but has yet to be released. We’ll update this issue and reference the changelog when it’s released.

@brian-mann Many of the earlier comments were experiencing a proxy issue that will be resolved by this PR https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/3531 and the release of 3.3.0 - specifically these comments:

Although the original issue is the error below specifically, and this should be left open for this.

 x  Verifying Cypress can run C:\Users\dev_adi\AppData\Local\Cypress\Cache\3.0.1\Cypress
   → spawn UNKNOWN

Although, I think this other PR may give more insight into why the spawn UNKNOWN error is occuring since it specifically adds more login to cypress verify https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/pull/3807

I also just did a reinstall of Cypress and do not get any error message during the installation (I still get the abovementioned error however)
