Expected behavior

Build would be successful using hyphenated version numbers created by npm version prerelease

Actual behavior

An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
Error: Failed with exit code: 1
Output:
Attempting to build package from 'my_app.nuspec'.
'1.0.1-0' is not a valid version string.
Parameter name: version
at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (D:\dev\versionNumber\my-app\node_modules\electron-winstaller\lib\spawn-promise.js:48:24)
    at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:514:28)
    at ChildProcess.emit (node:domain:488:12)
    at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1105:16)
    at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:305:5)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a folder
  2. npm init electron-app@latest my-app
  3. cd my-app
  4. npm version prerelease
  5. ✅ Observe the version is now 1.0.0-0
  6. npm run make
  7. ❌ Observe you get an unhandled exception
  8. This only seems to affect @electron-forge/maker-squirrel . I can build just fine on macOS using @electron-forge/maker-zip
