What did you expect to happen?

A Windows installer would be created for my application

What actually happened?

The process failed with

System.ArgumentException: Part URI is not valid per rules defined in the Open Packaging Conventions specification.

I think this is an issue with your package.json and probably having spaces in places that should have, or that something is missing from it. Can you post it here?

I can't reproduce this, but a simple Google search showed me that the error might be related to having spaces in your filenames, Squirrel doesn't seem to like that because it makes an invalid URI.
If you can run the example successfully, then it's definitely not our tool.
Also, try running the command with the variable DEBUG='electron-installer-windows', I always have trouble using this with cmd or powershell, so I recommend running it on bash. Nonetheless, the output of that might give you a better clue of what's going on here. Feel free to post it here but I don't know how much help I can be.
