npm run start-hot not working on Windows 10

[timc3]

When running the npm run start-hot it shows the Welcome to Electron screen telling me where to execute my code.

@timc3 I run start-hot is worked on Windows 7, no Welcome to Electron screen. Maybe the . path is not work on Windows 10? but I haven't machine of Windows 10. :\

@jhen0409 Sorry. I misunderstanding timc3 problem！
yesterday, I got this error message, my PC is Win7:

...
fs.js:585
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
...

then, i asked C.T.Lin, it's solved, need reinstall:
$ node node_modules/electron-prebuilt/install.js

For whatever reason, changing the command to "command": "electron ./" was what fixed this for me.

[timc3]

WMeldon actually has the solution (though I did upgrade all my devDependancies). Works on both OS X and Windows 10.

The same issue on Windows 10. Maybe update the README or package.json?

@WMeldon : +1. Your solution works for me (Windows 10).

Reinstall packages maybe solve your problem

rm -rf node_modules
npm install
