This seems to be entirely whitespace changes, is that intentional?

Yes, I changed \r to \r\n because it was causing errors on my machine.
The system cannot find the batch label specified - StartDeveloperCommandPrompt.
However, since it works fine on GitHub Actions, I reverted the change.

fix #8952 **Root Cause** when createExecutableStubForExe is executed, WriteZipToSetup writes information to the file, essentially creating a new file, which invalidates the original signature.  https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows/blob/51f5e2cb01add79280a53d51e8d0cfa20f8c9f9f/src/Update/Program.cs#L633-L647  **How to fix** Apply a patch to the Squirrel Windows source code(Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows#1903). For the existing stub exe files, don't generate them anymore. Then, a new stub exe can be generated in Electron Builder and signed. --------- Co-authored-by: Mike Maietta <mmaietta@users.noreply.github.com>

When _ExecutionStub.exe already exists in the files, avoid overwriting it. This is primarily because during the build process, _ExecutionStub.exe is automatically generated with my custom complex signatures process(Information is written to _ExecutionStub.exe through WriteZipToSetup, which only adds custom complex signatures), but Squirrel Windows overwrites it, causing the loss of signatures.
