Description
Hi,
I was testing the new project generator done with Electron and found a bug.
I followed the readme to install it, I built an updated version of commandLine project beforehand, then moving the binary to frontend/app folder.
Then in the PG, when generating/updating a project, it uses frontend/app/projectGenerator...which gave me error such as:
'projectGenerator' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
To fix this, I had to change in frontend/index.js (line 650):
pgApp = pathTemp.normalize(pathTemp.join(pathTemp.join(__dirname, "app"), "projectGenerator"));
to this:
pgApp = pathTemp.normalize(pathTemp.join(pathTemp.join(__dirname, "app"), "commandLine"));
So that it uses commandLine instead of projectGenerator. Then it was generating/updating projects correctly.
I am on Windows 7 also, not sure if it matters.

Research direction
Start at frontend/index.js around line 650 and inspect how the project generator executable path is assembled. Build the commandLine project, place its binary in frontend/app, and verify that generating and updating a project works on Windows without the executable-not-found error.
