launch4j | git : //git.code.sf.net/p/launch4j/git | Version Control System library

I'm creating a program that uses an external library, normally the executable JAR file would have created the .dll file in the same directory so that it will launch with it, but now that I've wrapped the JAR into an .exe file with Launch4j it does not even create the .dll or start the program at all (the window/gui closes instantly after trying to start). I've tried just putting the .dll from what the JAR made before it was wrapped into the same directory as the .exe but that did not work. Also there are no errors that pop up.

What do I need to do for the program to either create the .dll and then recognize it or recognize the .dll in the same directory while it being there already?

Note: I'm 99% sure that it has to do with the .exe not finding the .dll so there's always a chance that it might be due to some other reason.

Thank you in advance!

Two days ago I got close to finishing a java program that wrote, I wanted to let some friends play with it for a bit to find flaws etc. I created a runnable jar trough Eclipse and then I used Launch4j to transform the runnable jar into a .exe It worked perfectly fine on my pc, but any other user couldn't open it. After a while I discovered that when people would install java JDK, it worked for about 40%, but this atleast pushed me in the direction of what the flaw is. Is there a way to (automaticly?) embed everything in the jar that my program is in need of? Or is there a way to determine what exactly it all is that people need for the .exe to run and what they are missing by running some pre-checks that can re-direct them to links where they can download this? I can't seem to find much on this subject, so I probably made a mis assumption somewhere, any help/clearance is appreciated!

I am making a text editor for .html, .CSS, .js, .txt etc. First I made my software in java swing and then I changed it to jar file then I changed it to exe file using launch4j and then I made it setup using innosetup but if I install this software and I right click on a file in windows explorer and choose open with and then I select my software and open it, it just open my software not the selected file so how to do it?

I've built a program that allows users to create and manage a digital journal and other notes. It works alright and still needs some polishing but that's not the point. It references Java and JavaFx classes through imports. There is only one file, everything is compressed and inside that. It doesn't reference other files, except those created by the program.

I've tried many things, but nothing has seemed to work. I've tried exporting the file as runnable jar file and a normal jar file, changing how the libraries are extracted, changing command line arguments, running it through launch4j (which I still don't grasp a good understanding of, which may be a problem) and nothing has worked. Does anyone know the full process, and can walk me through it?

I have built a Java SWT application using Eclipse on a Windows 10 (64 bit) laptop. I am trying to convert it into a .exe file so anyone can run the application regardless of having java installed.

I have used Launch4J to convert my runnable .jar file to a .exe file and I am successfully able to run it on my laptop.

However, when I try to run it on any other laptop, the .exe file does not open/does nothing on a double click.

When I tried to run the original .jar file on a different laptop from command line this is the error I am getting:

_ Other posts on here say to include JRE and libraries in the build path which I did but it did not fix the problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this and allow my application to run?

How can I make a standalone Windows executable(.exe) for my JavaFX project(I wrote in IntelliJ IDEA), without an installer for my program? I want the user to download the .exe file and run it out of the box, without an installer, even if they don't have a JRE on their computer. Is this even possible? So far I've read a little about the following options:

• launch4j - It seems to copy the required JRE files alongside the .exe
• install4j - It makes an installer, which, once runned, creates the .exe file.

So, if I have understood correctly, neither of these two will help me. I found this and this posts, but they don't cover my specific case. Excuse me, if I'm asking a stupid question, this is my first ever Java GUI.

I have tried converting .jar to .exe using launch4j first time.

Able to execute .jar perfectly fine. But converted exe is not working properly, there seems to be something error.

Is there a way that I can get logs for .exe file.

As you probably know, since JDK 9, JRE no longer exists. So you need to create your own custom JRE with jlink. Well, so did I. And then I converted the jar to exe using launch4j. However, when I double-click it, it uses the JDK located at C:\Program File\Java\jdk-16.0.1 rather than the JRE I created. How do I make the exe use my JRE instead of the default JDK?

Thanks! Regards,

I am currently working on the final touches for my SoundSphere program and unfortinately I can not seem to get the jar file to convert to a exe file with launch4j due to this error
