OS : win 7

v0.9.0-beta.1 has black screen issue.

[hacdias]

Just tested on a clean install of Windows 10 and could not reproduce. Is this the screen you're talking about?

[enOehTsIsihT]

If Microsoft .NET Framework is 4.5.2, the issue could be reproduced.

After updating Microsoft .NET Framework, ipfs-desktop work fine now.

@enOehTsIsihT probably an issue regarding Electron or Electron Builder then (or just .NET Framework...). Will take a look.
