Created EXE needs admin-privileges to be run #134

Hi,

thanks for this great plugin! (I'm using using version 2.5.4)

I'm using it to create a windows executable from a fat-jar, which works great for one project.

For another project, with the same settings, I have not been able to create an EXE that would not need admin-privileges to run (which is not required for the first project mentioned). How does this happen? I need users without admin-role to be able to execute it...

Thanks for any suggestions!

This plugin only invokes launch4j by trying to create the same configuration. Please try to create the Windows executable manually with launch4j version 3.14 and post any error messages or stack traces you receive. To simplify the test you can use the -Pl4j-debug switch to generate the xml for launch4j.

I'll be a lot easier if you can provide a link to your failing repo or a reproducible example.
