To Reproduce

npx create-electron-app my-app
cd my-app
npm run make -- -p win32

# Then get errors.

Additional Information

• Wine has been installed by using brew cask install wine-stable. wine64 --version output wine-5.0.

This is something that needs to be fixed in Squirrel.WIndows. See:

• Error on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) in Squirrel.Utility.CreateZipFromDirectory windows-installer#327
• CreateZipFromDirectory exception on macOS Catalina (10.15) Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows#1605

SInce this can't be fixed in Electron Forge itself and thus not actionable here, I'm closing this bug (it's still searchable and points to the place where it needs to be fixed).
