Setup error

[ajaysridharan]

I am trying to use the grunt plugin to create a windows installer for my electron app and it fails when I run the setup.exe. I am using 1.2.1. I have included the gist from SquirrelSetup. Any pointers would be helpful.

@incurito could you please try again with https://github.com/electronjs/windows-installer ? It's the same package, but without grunt and with a couple of solved issues.

There is no response. Feel free to reopen if you still have this problem.
