Extracting file fails to extract any .asar files

I believe this issue is linked to a possible bug in Electron itself (which I go in to detail about here https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9304), but I thought it should be noted here as well.

When unzipping any compressed file in an Electron app, if the file contains any .asar files, it seems to break and throw an error. This error then prevents the .asar file from extracting. Because of that, this module seems to no longer work at all, because the .asar file does not get extracted and so it cannot properly update the application.
