title: Electron-packager returning "Response code 404 (Not Found)" when trying to compile electron project to .exe using CMD on Windows 10
body: <p>I am a beginner developer, just familiarising myself with electron and node.js. I am trying to convert my electron project into a .exe file using the electron-packager package, but every time I attempt it returns this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Response code 404 (Not Found) for https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v0.35.6/SHASUMS256.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried the URL, and it returns an error 404, apparently, anything from "releases" down doesn't exist. I am using Windows 10 if that helps.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my main.js file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    var app = require('app');  // Module to control application life.
  var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');  // Module to create native browser window.
  
  // Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will
  // be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is garbage collected.
  var mainWindow = null;
  
  // Quit when all windows are closed.
  app.on('window-all-closed', function() {
      // On OS X it is common for applications and their menu bar
      // to stay active until the user quits explicitly with Cmd + Q
      if (process.platform != 'darwin') {
          app.quit();
      }
  });
  
  // This method will be called when Electron has finished
  // initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
  app.on('ready', function() {
      // Create the browser window.
      mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 900, height: 600});
  
      // and load the index.html of the app.
      mainWindow.loadURL("path to index.html");
  
      // Emitted when the window is closed.
      mainWindow.on('closed', function() {
          // Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
          // in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
          // when you should delete the corresponding element.
          mainWindow = null;
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(the "path to index.html" is substituted for the real path in the actual script)</p>
  
  <p>This is the package.json file:</p>
  
  <pre><code> {
    "name": "overboard",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "",

  <p>Thanks for any help in advance, it's much appreciated.</p>
