M1 Mac. NWJS won't install. Download url incorrect. Any way to fix the url, or choose nwjs app installer from local file system instead of the extension trying to download it? #45

Hi. I'm on a MacBook Pro 13" Apple Silicon M1.

When I run the NWJS Install command it gets as far as this:

Downloading 0.52.2.zip
Error: GET http://dl.nwjs.io/v0.52.2/nwjs-v0.52.2-osx-arm64.zip
returned 404

Upon investigation, the url isn't right. The correct url is:

https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.52.2/nwjs-v0.52.2-osx-x64.zip

The difference is x64 instead of arm64.

From what I can tell you're composing the filename from a bunch of variables some of which are provided by os module, and that seems to return the arm instead of the x. Despite getting this far, I don't know enough about vscode extensions to do any fix myself, and I can't see any way to tell the extension the correct url, or give it the zip I've already downloaded manually from the nwjs.io site. Without the right file, nwjs won't install whatever your extension needs to make it work.

Is this project still alive? I'd love to try it out. Thanks!
