The error messages say that there are a bunch of weird characters in the source files. Is your hard drive corrupted or something? No idea how that could happen.

Also I have no idea what "electron-builder" is, but maybe that's the reason for it not working? Maybe try to use it in a normal project first to isolate the issue and then figure out why electron builder fails.

I have found a way to fix it. Can you review my pull request?
