rcedit failed - unable to commit changes

[hlfshell]

I've opened a similar issue on the electron-packager GitHub, specifically because I am unsure if there is a problem with rcedit or electron-packager's passing of parameters to rcedit. Unfortunately the error messaging is vague and I'm at a loss of where to go from here.

I keep getting the following when using electron-packager:

λ electron-packager . app --platform=win32 --arch=x64
Packaging app for platform win32 x64 using electron v1.4.13
rcedit.exe failed with exit code 1. Fatal error: Unable to commit changes

I've ensured that rcedit was downloaded by electron-packager, and even placed rcedit in my path just in case and got the same error. Unfortunately, the error is very vague and I'm not sure how to debug it.

Per the referenced issue here, this issue has been determined to be the result of an over zealous virus scanner on a corporate network and, for now, can safely be assumed to be resolved.

i'm having this issue as well. do you have any workaround for resolving it?

I don't see any anti-virus on my machine but am on a corporate network so maybe there is something in the background.
