Pay attention especially to Mono.Cecil.PE.ImageReader.ReadArchitecture(), the error is related to Mono Cecil. This error was fixed in jbevain/cecil#338, back in 2017. Squirrel is using an outdated version of Mono Cecil and would need to update the Cecil version.

Steps to recreate

git clone https://github.com/dennisameling/electron-webpack-quick-start.git
git checkout squirrel-arm64
Open the Windows Command Prompt (cmd)
Run set npm_config_arch=arm64
Run yarn - dependencies (like Electron) will download their arm64 versions because of npm_config_arch.
Run yarn dist.
Open .\dist\squirrel-windows-arm64\electron-webpack-quick-start Setup 0.0.0.exe on a Windows ARM64 device (e.g. Surface Pro X). You get this error:

Expected behavior
Installation on Windows ARM64 completes without errors.

Actual behavior
Installation on Windows ARM64 causes errors.

Additional information
Mono Cecil dependency version needs to be updated.

Just tested by updating Cecil to 0.11.2 and building Squirrel.Windows locally, then creating an ARM64 installer. Installation now finishes without errors, I took GitHub Desktop ARM64 for my testing 🎉

Let me take a look at this over the weekend/into next week. If all goes well, I'll finally have some breathing room.
