B4J Question Alternative to the B4JPackager11 tutorial

[Deleted member 103]

Hi,

is there an alternative to the B4JPackager11 tutorial?
I can't handle it. For a few days now I have been trying to convert a jar file to an exe file, unfortunately without success.
I have already tried 3 versions of B4JPackager: B4JPackager, B4JPackager1.50 and B4JPackager11.

This is the error message from B4JPackager1.50:

Hello,
for B4JPackager11 you have to use jdk-11.0.1 and no java 1.8, the link jdk-11.0.1 https://www.b4x.com/b4j.html

I know that, I've already tried it.

I'm definitely doing something wrong, but unfortunately the tutorial doesn't help me.

I'm definitely doing something wrong, but unfortunately the tutorial doesn't help me.

i would try to start at the error

Error on line 25 in C:\Users\fil15\AppData\Local\Temp\fxbundler3251762287763509785\images\win-exe.image\CronoMilleMiglia_v1.00.iss: Minimum NT version specified by MinVersion must be at least 6.0. (Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 are no longer supported.)

the iss file need to have a MinVersion set to 6.0 or higher

Inno Setup Help

Have you tried to edit the base iss script?

Hi Manfred,
I don't understand this error message, I'm using Windows 10.

 

[DonManfred]

Hi Manfred,
I don't understand this error message, I'm using Windows 10.

I suggest to consult the inno setup documentation.

As already suggested i suggest again to check the Value set for MinVersion in you inno setup script (iss).
Make sure you have set it to a Minimum of 6.0

Add the Var to your iss if not present.

At least this is what i would try if i get such a error. I never used the packager though.

Please keep this discussion about B4J Packager 11. If you want to discuss a different version then start a new thread. It is of course a mistake to use an older version of B4J Packager.

I can't handle it. For a few days now I have been trying to convert a jar file to an exe file, unfortunately without success.

How can we help you if you haven't provided any information?

Why don't you post the error message, instead of requesting a new tutorial???

Read the tutorial carefully and you will see that it explains this issue:

There are several additional parameters that you can configure:
- NetFrameworkCSC - Path to to the C# compiler which is part of .Net Framework.
- IconFile - Path to the executable icon file (.ico file).
- ExcludedModules - List of excluded modules. javafx.web is excluded by default. You need to remove it from the list if you are using WebView.
- IncludedModules - List of included modules. Should be empty in most cases as the tool tries to discover the dependent modules automatically.

I mostly understand all of your tutorials, and if I don't understand it right away, after a couple of tests I understand it.
But this tutorial, because I can read and read again, I still don't understand it.
Am I maybe too old already?

I have now commented out this line and that's the execution of run_debug.bat

    Private ExcludedModules As List
    'ExcludedModules = Array("javafx.web") 'comment this line if using WebView

But this tutorial, because I can read and read again, I still don't understand it.

I'm not sure how you missed it as it is written several times in the tutorial and also in B4JPackager code. If you encounter any problem then post the problem. Requesting a different tutorial is not really productive.

The latest error you've encountered is a different issue which is related to a limitation or bug of MediaPlayer. You cannot play files from File.DirAsset: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...iaplayer-jaudioclip-solved.107803/post-674074

Ok, that was the last mistake, now it works.
Thank you for your patience.
