Description

somewhat similar to #240 and #218 when running the make through electron forge task, it compiles and exports the app with no problem. when i go to install the app on a windows environment, it shows the installation gif and the app is opened, but never installed. unlike #218, there is no error. when i close the app, it is not installed on my system so there is no reference of it. is this expected behavior or have i misconfigured something that causes this? the documentation seems like setup.exe should install it but i may be misinterpreting this.

i am running windows installer on electron forge.

my configuration:

```
"electronWinstallerConfig": {
"appDirectory": "./out/Desktop-win32-ia32",
"name": "Desktop",
"outputDirectory": "./out/make/desktop-windows",
"setupExe": "DesktopSetup.exe",
"certificateFile": "./certificates/certificate.p12"
}
```
