Node path.join fails on Windows 7 & Electron 2.0.2 - Possibly due to bug in Node 8.9.3, fixed in 8.10.0 #13287

@Nantris

Description

@Nantris
  • Electron Version: 2.0.2
  • Operating System (Platform and Version): Windows 7 x64
  • Last known working Electron version: 1.8.4 (Not known - only possibly)

Relevant NodeJS Bug Report: nodejs/node#21392

Expected Behavior
Path.join always joins valid paths

Actual behavior
Path.join's first argument is passed in, but within the join function it is undefined, and it throws an error

To Reproduce
Specifically I am using Auto-Launch and the exact implementation of this module seems to create the issue. Not a great way to reproduce it, but it's probably a NodeJS bug, so the fix seems to be upgrading NodeJS.

Do we have any idea when Electron with Node 8.10.x will come out?
