Question

I have generated an exe file using jpackager in windows, when I install it and try to run, this error is generated.

Any ideas on how to solve this will be really appreciated This is how I generated the exe file

jpackage -t exe --name "wetu" --app-version 1.0 --input "C:\Users\home\Documents\Andrew\Projects\Java\WetuLantern\dist" --dest "C:\Users\home\Documents\Andrew\wetu-exe" --main-jar "WetuLantern.jar" --icon "C:\Users\home\Documents\Andrew\icon.ico" --module-path "C:\Users\home\Downloads\Compressed\javafx-jmods-16" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.graphics,javafx.fxml,javafx.base  --win-shortcut --win-menu --win-console

start the exe with cmd and show the message. – Raw Apr 15 '21 at 06:24 — Raw, Apr 15 '21 at 06:24

Activate Windows console with --win-console as outlined in this answer. This allow you to identify the error message.

Secondly, the installer does not upgrade the previous installation after each build unless you increase the --app-version each time or un-install the previous copy before installing new copy.
