Create the electron windows 32-bit download/install

[tangollama]

Expected behavior:
Availability of the code as a win32 download.

Actual behavior:
Currently unavailable.

Steps to reproduce:

• Checkout the project on a win32 development device.

npm install
bower install
ember electron:make --platform=win32

^ not to raise any alarms here @tangollama , ^ I just saw this particular task. For the task we just closed out, #1075 , when I used the command specified in that task, it gave me this error. So for #1075 I used the command featured in this task. It seemed to still generate the windows 64-bit executable unless I'm super mistaken here (My laptop is 64-bit OS and the executable worked on my machine).

Again, not trying to alarm you, but is there a different command for 32-bit vs 64-bit Windows OS? To summarize I used the command ember electron:make --platform=win32 on #1075 because when I ran the command ember electron:make --platform=win32x64 I got the unsupported platform error in the attached screenshot. I assumed that the Steps To Reproduce from #1075 just had an error/type-o in the command. I'll look into this tomorrow as well, but if you're willing/able, let's follow up on this and make sure we all have the same understanding.

My understanding is that the install for win32 needs to be executed on a win32 OS. electron forge (the underlying build project) is opinionated regarding building for other architectures. Typed or dictated imperfectly on my iPhone (717.385.9970)

Ah, understood!

Hi @tangollama, I tried to run the Steps to reproduce as you said above but unfortunately I encountered a bug:

I tried to google it and it turned out a bug in electron-forge, which is in this PR here: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-forge/pull/161. They nearly finish the PR, according to their conversation. So I think that I will keep track of that PR and try to come back here after they merge that PR.
