Errors installing on windows

[fmiqbal]

Windows and MacOS build have actually already been added to travis, just not yet to releases. Travis upload them to catbox.moe when done.

Latest Windows:

Thanks for reporting this! Will take a more thorough look when I can. On a glance, WiseLibs/better-sqlite3#227 might be related.

Same bug in 1.7.8. Any plans to fix this?

Yes! This is the next thing on my TODO list. I need to get familiar with the problem and investigate thoroughly. As soon as there's a fix we'll make sure to get it out. Sorry for the trouble.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Have a lead, and have a build which works on my end. If anyone can test: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/26ncloqje2udqifd/artifacts/MailspringSetup.exe

It appears that Travis is not properly rebuilding some modules which require native dependencies. AppVeyor does do this. If I can't get Travis to work properly we can hook AppVeyor to the repository and use Windows builds from there.

I initially submitted a working PR which used appveyor. But then someone moved it to Travis. So we could just revert that if it solves this issue.

[exprez135]

That would be me 🤦
I think I've actually gotten Travis to work now. It's all a caching problem. I'm going to test the new build and update the release with new files tonight.

[exprez135]

Update: I was wrong. Travis rebuilt everything but I encountered the same error. I've just pushed .appveyor.yml back into the repo (thank you @louis-lau!).

@notpushkin is it possible for us to set up an AppVeyor project for the repo?

I've just updated the release files with functioning Windows 1.7.8 builds.

[notpushkin]

@exprez135 IIRC AppVeyor didn't work for me (it did work for @louis-lau though, so that's weird). I'll give it one more try tonight and let you know if it works!

[notpushkin]

Looks like we're good to go!

[exprez135]

Awesome! Thank you!
