Issue with node-7z only in packaged app [not really a bug, asking for help]

[Francesco Bramato]

Prerequisites

• Using npm
• Using an up-to-date main branch
• Using latest version of devtools. Check the docs for how to update
• Tried solutions mentioned in #400
• For issue in production release, add devtools output of DEBUG_PROD=true npm run build && npm start

Expected Behavior

I'm using node-7z and 7zip-bin to unzip .7z files

Current Behavior

Everything works fine in development mode but fire the error TypeError: je.createExtractorFromFile is not a function in packaged app

    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const files: string[] = [];
      const myStream = Seven.list(download.localFileName, { $bin: pathTo7zip });
      myStream.on('data', function (data) {
        files.push(data.file);
      });

      myStream.on('end', function () {        resolve(files);
