java -jar spring-tool-suite-4-4.11.1.RELEASE-e4.20.0-win32.win32.x86_64.self-extracting.jar works for me.

sts-4.11.1.RELEASE folder will be "extracted" and the SpringToolSuite4.exe is inside that folder.

  1. Just unzip the .zip file and there you will find a contents.zip .
  2. Extract the contents.zip there you can find the you can find the springtoolsuit
  3. get all the files and paste it in your desired directory and create a shortcut

I have recently faced the following issue with the STS 4.9.0.RELEASE version self-extracting jar. The self-extracting functionality is not working properly.

Issue snapshot

Solution The simplest solution is extracting the jar using a zip file extractor tool such as (WinRAR/ 7ZIP), inside the extracted folder you could see another archive named contents.zip. Extract the contents.zip again using WinRAR/ 7ZIP, finally, you can find the STS IDE inside the extracted folder(sts-4.9.0.RELEASE) of contents.zip .

Even i had the same issue when i extract spring tools 4. Below are the steps i followed to fix the issue

Step 1: Downloaded Spring Tools 4 bundled jar from Spring Tools 4 Download

Step 2: Right click downloaded jar and extract using WinZip

enter image description here

Step 3: Now unzip the contents.zip file using WinZip but it throws below error

enter image description here

Step 4: Here use 7Zip to extract contents zip instead of WinZip: Now it got extracted without any issue.

Step 5: Here we go, open SpringToolSuite4.ini and add below

openFile
-vm
C:/jdk/jdk1.8/bin/javaw

Step 6: Thats it, open SpringToolSuite4.exe

Please note, you may use 7Zip for the steps wherever i mentioned WinZip.

@Rishit,

When you download the zip file, instead of saving it on the computer, if you can open it, that might solve the problem. It happened with me too.
