Micronaut application built with Launch4J not launching

Asked 2022-Mar-30 at 13:25

I have successfully ported my desktop application from Dagger/Spring to Micronaut/Spring (there's just way too much Spring code in there for me to be able strip it all out in a timely manner). Using Micronaut and PicoCLI everything is working beautifully in Eclipse/Gradle. It's launching, tests are passing, so now I want to do a build and install it to make sure that everything will work for our customer.

Our build (via Gradle) uses Shadow (com.github.johnrengelman.shadow) to combine our application with all of its dependencies into a single Jar file. I've checked and all expected dependencies appear to be present, and from the look of it the generated Micronaut classes are also present in the shadow jar. We then use Launch4J to make this shadow jar executable. From everything that I can tell, the output from Launch4J looks to be correct, however when I try to run the installed application, the splash screen appears for a fraction of a second and that's it. When I run the Launch4J generated executable as a jar file, I get the following:

I haven't been able to find any information for using launch4j with more than 65535 files (i.e.: something like the shadowJar zip64 flag), nor really much of any information in this regard in general for that matter. However one solution that works for me, is to set dontWrapJar to true. This creates a tiny launcher for running the created jar file with the bundled JRE, rather than converting the entire jar, keeping all (or at least the majority of) the files out of the launch4j generated executable. The updated gradle task is as follows

If sqlite3 is required during normal operation of your Electron application and not just during development then you will need to added sqlite3 as a dependency.

NSIS Installer error - Not enough memory resources available to process this command

That message is not coming from NSIS, it must be from something inside your batch file, perhaps 7-Zip.

NSIS FileRead conditional override

Asked 2022-Feb-19 at 13:45

I should please need your help as I am not a programmer (please have mercy with me). I should need to add in an existing NSIS script a function that does the following:

Checks the presence of a value called 169.254.1.1 into a INI file named myfile.ini and placed in

c:\mydirectory

Should it find this value into myfile.ini it should not do anything else (i.e. let the script do the next steps).

Should it NOT find this value into myfile.ini it should override the file

with another one by silently copying it from c:\dummyfile\myfile.ini

and then let the script do the next steps.

I do not know how to tell NSIS to do this, may I please ask for your help?

Thanks in advance for your expertise.

CMake CPack NSIS How to pass install location to project?

I have a project written in C. Currently it's using UNIX makefiles to compile itself for Linux, but recently I've been looking into CMake, to be more portable.

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Feb-09 at 02:35

For anyone stuck in a similar problem, I found one solution.

Upon looking online, this seems to be something not recommended for Unix systems, and setting the install location during compilation is pretty standard.

For windows, however, I found the function GetModuleFileNameW (GetModuleFileNameW function (libloaderapi.h)).

It returns the path to the current executable (something like C:\Program Files\\bin\my-app.exe). I've confirmed it returns the right path, even when I install the project on different directories. It returns the result using wchar_t, so unicode directories are also supported.

Here is a small example of how it can be used:

QUESTION

Importing .Reg File Targeting HKEY_CURRENT_USER Creates Additional Entries In Other Hives

Asked 2022-Feb-01 at 04:53

I need help understanding the registry entries that Windows creates when I attempt to write keys to HKEY_CURRENT_USER by importing a .reg file.

I have written an installer in NSIS that installs the software for a standard user and does not require Admin authentication. The installer installs the software for the current user only.

My software contains two DLLs that use COM so they must be registered. However, since my installer does not request Admin authentication, I cannot use regasm. Rather, I am using the .reg file import technique described in this post:

Registering .Net COM DLLs without Admin rights / regasm

Effectively, I am running RegAsm with the /regfile switch to create a .reg file. I then replace all instances of

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\

with

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\

These are the keys that RegAsm creates with HKEY_CLASS_ROOT (which I then replaced with HKEY_CURRENT_USER):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\MyDllLibrary.clsMyClass] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\MyDllLibrary.clsMyClass\CLSID] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{3B8612DE-E333-31D5-86DA-9ED6D4B14A1C}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{3B8612DE-E333-31D5-86DA-9ED6D4B14A1C}\InprocServer32] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{3B8612DE-E333-31D5-86DA-9ED6D4B14A1C}\InprocServer32\1.0.0.0] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{3B8612DE-E333-31D5-86DA-9ED6D4B14A1C}\ProgId] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{3B8612DE-E333-31D5-86DA-9ED6D4B14A1C}\Implemented Categories{62C8FE65-4EBB- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\MyDllLibrary.clsMyClass2] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\MyDllLibrary.clsMyClass2\CLSID] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{FCE641D6-51C1-3648-AB43-C1F9BB812FC5}] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{FCE641D6-51C1-3648-AB43-C1F9BB812FC5}\InprocServer32] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{FCE641D6-51C1-3648-AB43-C1F9BB812FC5}\InprocServer32\1.0.0.0] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{FCE641D6-51C1-3648-AB43-C1F9BB812FC5}\ProgId] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID{FCE641D6-51C1-3648-AB43-C1F9BB812FC5}\Implemented Categories{62C8FE65-4EBB-

After I import the .reg file above, to my surprise, my when I search the registry for my dll name, I find Windows has created keys in the following 3 place:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT HKEY_CURRENT_USER HKEY_USERS

I was expecting to only finds keys in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

This presents two issues:

If the key is written to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT I wonder if it is registering it for the entire machine (as opposed to only the current user).
My uninstaller "unregisters" the Dlls using the same technique of running the RegAsm /regfile switch and then replacing all instances of

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER

with

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER

The problem is my uninstaller is only deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys and the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_USERS keys are left behind.

I'm trying to understand why Windows is writing these additional keys and if I need to clean them up on uninstall.

Here is a list of the keys Windows is creating entries in:

They are only created in a single place.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a merged view of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes, it stores no data of its own.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER is just a symlink to HKEY_USERS\S-.... where S-... is the SID of your user account.

Ideally you should be using the NSIS registry functions, not .reg files.

Append bin folder to PATH environement variable after installation

Asked 2022-Jan-20 at 19:28

I have done a C++ program for Windows and an NSIS installer using CPack. I want that after the installation, the user can call my program from the terminal without giving the whole path of the exe.
Sometimes some installers even add an Add useful environment variables checkbox at the end of the installation to give the user a choice.

Is it possible to add to the PATH environment variable the path to our bin folder at the end of the installation using CPack and NSIS Generator?

If this is not possible, how do other programs add environment variables during installation?

ANSWER

Answered 2022-Jan-20 at 19:28

As always, check the documentation... https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/cpack_gen/nsis.html

CPACK_NSIS_MODIFY_PATH

Modify PATH toggle. If this is set to ON, then an extra page will appear in the installer that will allow the user to choose whether the program directory should be added to the system PATH variable.

Note that this is hard-coded to be the $INSTDIR\bin path and is not configurable. In particular, setting CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR to anything other than bin will break.
