The imagemin plugin uses 'spawn' which does not support in asar package. You should use 'execFile' instead.

I'm running into this same issue. @macisi can you explain a little more of how you'd use execFile. The crazy thing is everything works in Development and Production on my machine, but fails every time on Windows.

Here is my code for imagemin:

imagemin(
        ["/path/to/folder/to/optimize],
        "/path/to/output/folder",
        {
          use: [imageminPngquant({ quality: "65-80" })]
        }
      )
.then(() => resolve(data))
.catch(err => reject(data))

@steveostudios Here is my code, hopes it would help😄 https://github.com/EHDFE/ehdev-shell/blob/master/src/controller/tools/processors/pngquant.js#L8

This is an issue with Electron and not Imagemin.
