Description

I am trying to create SFX image for jar from the IZPACK installer in windows7 for win 32 machines.

How i created : executed the below commands
compile install.xml -k web
izpack2exe --file=install.jar

Result : Setup.exe will be created.

problem : Double click on the setup.exe will just extract and explore the files of exe instead of showing setup wizards

Check that the target operating system has a working Java installation. More specifically, check that opening a Jar file does not trigger some weird compressed file management program.

This is a duplicate of IZPACK-560 and IZPACK-30

I had a bit of a play today, I never knew python could create executable files for windows, was a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure what the reason is for 7zipping the jar since it is already compressed.

Anyway, I have a patch for this issue that I have tested on WinXP and Win7. It works the same in every other way that I can tell. However I uncovered another bug in Win7 (not caused by my fix, is in current version also where the install crashes if there are any execution parameters e.g. --launch-args ) I will open a new issue for this bug, just though you should be aware its not caused by my fix.

Until I can work out how to create a patch in git here is the whole file.

The change is:
config.write('ExecuteFile="javaw"')
config.write('ExecuteParameters="-jar \\\"%s\\\"' % filename)
if settings.launchargs != '':
config.write(' %s"\r\n' % settings.launchargs)
else:
config.write('"\r\n')
