Shows the Windows's crash dialog when Electron crashes.
This environment variable will not work if the `crashReporter` is started.
### `ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH`
When running from the `electron` package, this variable tells
the `electron` command to use the specified build of Electron instead of
the one downloaded by `npm install`. Usage:
```sh
export ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH=/Users/username/projects/electron/out/D
```
