Please update rcedit.exe to the latest and greatest.

I just had the same issue as in Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows#1150

Replacing the rcedit.exe in node_modules\electron-winstaller\vendor with the latest version (2.0.0) from here fixed the issue.

All my files are local and not on a network drive.

It looks like an old rcedit version causes more issues: Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows#888

Unfortunately, this fix was only temporary… I'm currently not sure whats going on.

I tried a lot of suggestions from here electron/packager#590 , e.g. adding exceptions for rcedit in Windows Defender and so on, but non of those worked out so far.

It is better to use https://www.npmjs.com/package/rcedit than bundle rcedit.exe in this package
