@Fyphen1223 Are you able to npm install electron-squirrel-startup --save outside of the context of the import script?

Thanks for the reply!
I actually have tried to install electron-squirrel-startup but I couldn't because of an error.
If you need the error log, I'll put that later (sry, I'm currently away with my PC)
