Turned out I forgot to run "npm run build" before "npm run build-electron-win" ...now everything is working

So for anyone using this in 2021, there are only a few steps to consider regarding to using windows.

in order to run this wonderful project, which I really do appreciate! you need to do the following:

npm install (to install all the dependencies)
npm run build (build out the reactjs)
npm run build-electron-win (set up & copy over the needed directories)

in the package.json file
there seems to be a issue on the script "package-win"
it's not copying over the electron file over to the build folder
so you can either update the script or simply just copy your electron file into the build folder created
before running "package-win"
