"install-app-deps" fails during 'npm install'

Node 4.2.1 NPM 2.14.7 electron-builder ~3.16.1 Win7 64x

npm install fails if I include "postinstall": "install-app-deps" in my package.json scripts section. I’m only using 1 package.json file. If I do not include "postinstall": "install-app-deps" the npm install works fine.

As you can see below it also is looping though the installing app dependencies for arch x64 part several times and I cant figure out why.

$ npm i
