@edvin ? can you please share your thoughts what i am missing or what is the issue. Its working for mac native installer but on windows show error due to inno setup

[edvin]

Try to run the iscc.exe file with the given parameters manually and see what output it produces.

[HamzaShahidAli]

When i run iscc.exe file its showing errors on .ico file is not copying where iscc.exe file exist and also .exe file is not exist on that location.

[HamzaShahidAli]

@edvin Sir can you please help me to fix why this issue came on windows native installer only

[Balthov60]

I've got the same issue i think, it works by removing parameter for the icon. But I don't find any fix to use the icon yet.

[edvin]

Try running javapackager with the icon parameter directly and see what error message javapackager reports. That should help you narrow it down. All we do is call javapackager, so that's where you need to debug this.

[Balthov60]

I finally fix it ! The .ico file was too big, i reduced it to 128x128 pixels and it works !

[edvin]

Great, thanks for reporting back!

[HamzaShahidAli]

@Balthov60 i removed the parameter icon but still i am facing the same issue.

[HamzaShahidAli]

@Balthov60 @edvin Facing first issue https://www.screencast.com/t/WE4WUUPQ Facing Second Issue https://www.screencast.com/t/ri3lml6HHOj

Both issue occurred when manually compiling iss code generated by fxlauncher, if i fix manually these issues and installer created then the logic for update from server is not working, i thing its not defined in the iss file thats why please see the .iss file code

Ok @edvin i think its the java-packager throwing the exception because i face the same exception when run simple command to create exe package with JavaPackager, can you help out how i can fix this issue or any one.

@HamzaShahidAli I've got the same issue, maybe the reason is InnoSetup's version might not compatible. first I use InnoSetup6(same with you), and got the same issue. but when I downgrade the version to InnoSetup5, I can got the installer correctly.

someone also asked in stackoverflow with the same issue. The link

It might help you.

I think javapackager only supports InnoSetup 5, but according to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8221333 you should switch to WiX instead.

@MakeItEasy Thanks for answer and stack-overflow question belongs to me and i already fixed this issue using downgrade inno setup to 5 and everything works fine. Thanks @edvin and @MakeItEasy
