Your help will be very much appreciated.If there are alternative for launch4j then please tell me.

Answer 1

I was trying to use a *.png file as my icon but it wanted *.ico. Once I removed <icon>...</icon> from my config file this error disappeared.

Answer 2

我以管理员身份运行 launch4j 应用程序，错误消失了。

Answer 3

Check the icon file you are using (if you are using one). I was coming across the same error when trying to wrap my java executable. I was using a png file that I converted to what I thought was an icon (.ico) file. Turns out this conversion didn't work. After using a correct .ico file I found on my windows system, I used that and it worked.

Answer 4

Convert your png or jpeg fiel to icon file and error will go.

Answer 6

将路径指定为 \\bin\\jre_path 例如，如果您有一个文件夹 dist，其中 bin 作为子文件夹，其中包含 jre 文件。
