electron-builder: Building on Windows fails with Update.com Error Code

Running npm run dist on windows exists with the following error:

\node_modules\electron-winstaller-fixed\vendor\Update.com failed with exit code: 4294967295

npm run pack works just fine. I’m trying to create an MSI and work towards windows autoupdating.

Running the latest Windows Technical Preview, in case that matters. Tried both @latest and @3.11.0 suggested in #366
