jpackage on Windows: The system cannot find file, error 103

Question

I am trying to package a ScalaFx app I built using jpackage and having trouble on windows (mac & linux work just fine).

I am building a fat jar using sbt assembly and then using jpackage to create a .msi however I am getting this error:

$ jpackage --win-shortcut --name krystalbull --app-version 0.1 --type msi -i target/scala-2.13/ --main-class com.krystal.bull.gui.GUI --main-jar krystal-bull-assembly-0.1.jar --icon src/main/resources/icons/krystal_bull.ico --verbose

  shell: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.EXE -command ". '{0}'"
  env:

Answer 1

jpackage fails on Windows when application name differs from installer name as mentioned in the issue here

It works for me if I specify the same argument to --name is I specified for the app image.

(The same name as for the app-image command, but you might want to change the name).
