Can't use node-activex for electron@21.4.1

[lianyzhou]

First thanks to great job on creating node-activex. when is use it in electron@21.4.1, it reports an error then i found solution by node-activex's main page，so i did:

npm rebuild winax --runtime=electron --target=16.16.0 --dist-url=https://electronjs.org/headers --build-from-source

from command line i can see rebuild successfully, but when i start electron app, it does't help

then i try electron-builder install-app-deps or electron-rebuild，both encoutered an error:

> electron-builder install-app-deps
