### Electron Forge version
7.3.0
### Electron version
v29.1.2
### Operating system
Windows 11 23h2
### Last known working Electron Forge version
n/a
### Expected behavior
Build would be successful using hyphenated version numbers created by `npm version prerelease`
### Actual behavior
```
An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
Error: Failed with exit code: 1
Output:
Attempting to build package from 'my_app.nuspec'.
'1.0.1-0' is not a valid version string.
Parameter name: version
at ChildProcess. (D:\dev\versionNumber\my-app\node_modules\electron-winstaller\lib\spawn-promise.js:48:24)
at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:514:28)
at ChildProcess.emit (node:domain:488:12)
at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1105:16)
at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:305:5)
```
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open a folder
2. `npm init electron-app@latest my-app`
3. `cd my-app`
4. `npm version prerelease`
5. :white_check_mark: Observe the version is now 1.0.0-0
6. `npm run make`
7. ❌ Observe you get an unhandled exception
8. This only seems to affect `@electron-forge/maker-squirrel `. I can build just fine on macOS using `@electron-forge/maker-zip`
