Hi @RiverChu0! Are you bundling your own fat JAR? If so, you can set copyDependencies=false, so libs folder is not created. Otherwise, the wrapped JAR only includes your code, not its dependencies, and your app needs them.

AFAIK, only one JAR can be wrapped in EXE file with Launch4j. So, if you want to wrap your libraries in EXE, you should create and bundle your own fat/uber JAR
