Node JS unable to execute asar archive
<p>Pretty simple. I am on Windows 8, I used the asar module to package a folder containing a node app.</p>

<p>I ran <code>node app.asar</code> and got the error</p>

<p><code>SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16) "(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { ?"</code></p>

<p>where ? is clearly an invalid character.</p>

<p>Why does this archive contain invalid characters if I can run the app without issue before packaging it and asar archives are supposedly readable to a nodejs process</p>
