Description
Hi, I'm very intrigued by the concept of Livepeer (I was actually thinking of a combination between blockchain incentives in combination with a decentralized video platform, hence I started googling).
I wanted to try the desktop Client on Windows 10, but once I startup the application I get the following error. It does show a GUI, but it keeps hanging at "Starting Livepeer Node", with a few CPU hungy processes running in the background.

[Main Instruction]
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Uncaught Exception:

Research direction
Reproduce the Windows 10 startup failure and inspect the desktop application's main process around the launch of node_modules/livepeer-static/bin/win32/x64/livepeer.exe. Verify whether the packaged executable exists at that path and confirm that a successful launch reaches the Livepeer node without the ENOENT error or hanging.
