Run the jar from the command line with java -jar <yourjar>
It will allow you to see the error message.

Works fine on my win 10, so I asked a friend to try it on another Win10 machine but it won't install on that system...he tried install and run as admin, checked the uploaded file by downloading and reinstalling on my sys with no problems, the install includes java runtime right so there should not be anything else needed?

Thanks

Click to expand...

Did he get any error message?

You still haven't fixed the paths issue:

I did change the code for the file copy ...

I uninstalled the program and deleted File.DirApp folder
I checked that the database was in the objects (File.DirApp) folder.
After installation and the first execution, the folder File.DirData("CMS") is created but the database is not copied, it is copied using .jar

B4X:

Public Sub DBFilePath
    'check if Db already created
        If File.Exists(File.DirData("CMS"),"cms.db3") =False Then
    File.Copy(File.DirApp,"cms.db3",File.DirData("CMS"),"cms.db3")
    End If
End Sub

How is it created in File.DirApp? It cannot be the correct folder.

I'm sorry but I don't see how I can further help you.
As I wrote many times in this thread you shouldn't use File.DirApp at all.

sorry Erel, I completely misunderstood, apologies.

I was using basing my code on the dbutils example...

File.MakeDir(File.DirApp, "data")
SQL1.InitializeSQLite(File.DirApp, "data/1.db", True)

also a post from Aug 10 2016
The file.DirApp is read only
You're right but you can create a sub dir in DirApp and write there:
Code:
Dim MySubDir AsString = File.Combine(File.DirApp, "SubDir")
IfNot(File.Exists(MySubDir, "")) Then
File.MakeDir(MySubDir, "")
End If

So I have to create the db in file.dirdata if Iwant to compile the program.
