I am using launch4j for the first time and I get following error. Here is launch4j error log.

Compiling resources

[launch4j for Windows][1]

Make sure your launch4j got an '.exe' extension and not '.jar' if you using windows [1]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/launch4j/

hopefully that helps.

None of the above helped me. The answer was to copy JRE's lib and bin folders into a new folder inside dist (I called it jre), then use that folder name as the Bundled JRE Path:

Give the path as \bin\jre_path For instance if you have a folder dist with bin as subfolder having the jre file inside.

The reason is a version of JRE on machine where EXE file is executing.

Check the icon file you are using (if you are using one). I was coming across the same error when trying to wrap my java executable. I was using a png file that I converted to what I thought was an icon (.ico) file. Turns out this conversion didn't work. After using a correct .ico file I found on my windows system, I used that and it worked.
