win32.js app.asar vs app.asar.unpacked

[aredfox]

When packaging for windows target with electron 1.4.14 and electron-builder 11.2.5 the module couldn't be found, more specifically it couldn't find nircmd.exe.

I think path.join should normally look in app.asar.unpacked, but apparantly on Windows it doesn't?

Solution/Workaround:
I had to change the line in win32.js from
var nircmd = childProcess.spawn(path.join(__dirname, "bin", "nircmd.exe"), ["savescreenshot", options.output]);
to
var nircmd = childProcess.spawn(path.join(__dirname.replace('app.asar', 'app.asar.unpacked'), "bin", "nircmd.exe"), ["savescreenshot", options.output]);
