B4J Question B4j packager - license file (EULA)

[Nokia]

I guess I am not understanding on where to put the license.txt file so that is shows during the install. Can anybody shed some light on this?

Also does anybody know if I can add file association during the install with an icon?

 

[Erel]

Try to add this line (before shl is initialized):

args.AddAll(Array("-BlicenseFile=", "path to file"))

It is not possible to add file association.

I get this error when I try your way..
StdErr: Error: Unknown argument: C:\Data\license.txt

but I get this error when I try my original way..

args.Add("-BlicenseFile=" & txtLicensePath.text)

Advice to fix: Make sure that "C:\Data\license.txt" references a file in the app resources, and that it is relative file reference.

this is the code I have

args.Initialize
     args.AddAll(Array ("-deploy", "-srcFiles", txtJar.Text, "-native", packageExtension, _
       "-BsystemWide=true", "-title", txtTitle.Text, "-name", txtName.Text, "-outdir", workingFolder, _
       "-outfile", "1.exe", "-BappVersion=" & txtVersion.Text, "-appclass", appClass, _
       "-Bidentifier=" & appClass))
     If windows Then
       args.Add("-Bruntime=" & GetSystemProperty("java.home", ""))
       args.Add("-BmenuHint=true")
       args.Add("-Bwin.menuGroup=" & txtName.Text)
       args.Add("-BshortcutHint=" & chckDeskShortcut.Checked)
       args.Add("-Bcopyright=" & txtCopyRight.text)
       args.Add("-BlicenseFile=" & txtLicensePath.text)
       args.Add("-Bvendor=" & txtVender.text)
     End If
     If txtIcon.Text <> "" Then args.Add($"-Bicon=${txtIcon.Text}"$)
     filename = File.Combine(workingFolder, "bundles/" & txtName.Text & "-" & txtVersion.Text & "." & packageExtension)
     File.Delete(filename, "")
     shl.InitializeDoNotHandleQuotes("shl", txtPackager.Text, args)

Steps to add a license file:

1. Add the license file to the srcFiles arguments (line 132 here):

 "-srcFiles", txtJar.Text

To:

 "-srcFiles", "c:\temp\License.lic;" & txtJar.Text

2. Add this line:

args.Add("-BlicenseFile=License.lic")

thanks @Eran Jesusa

it worked.. this is the updated code..

args.AddAll(Array ("-deploy", "-srcFiles", txtLicensePath.text & ";" & txtJar.Text, "-native", packageExtension, _
       "-BsystemWide=true", "-title", txtTitle.Text, "-name", txtName.Text, "-outdir", workingFolder, _
       "-outfile", "1.exe", "-BappVersion=" & txtVersion.Text, "-appclass", appClass, _
       "-Bidentifier=" & appClass))
     If windows Then
       args.Add("-Bruntime=" & GetSystemProperty("java.home", ""))
       args.Add("-BmenuHint=true")
       args.Add("-Bwin.menuGroup=" & txtName.Text)
       args.Add("-BshortcutHint=" & chckDeskShortcut.Checked)
       args.Add("-Bcopyright=" & txtCopyRight.text)
       args.Add("-BlicenseFile=" & File.GetName(txtLicensePath.text))
       args.Add("-Bvendor=" & txtVender.text)
     End If

would I add the icon to the -srcFiles the same way to show my icon and not the java icon?

The original code sets the icon. You don't need to add it to srcFiles. For further discussion please start a new thread.
