B4J Question Where is the bundles directory created by b4jpackager?

[davepamn]

I ran the b4jpackager, no errors, but I can't find the bundles directory that it is suppose to create

 

[DonManfred]

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\B4JPackager

I do not find an appdata directory under my username. Does that mean I do not have admin privileges to run b4jPackager? Is there another way to run the jar on an windows machine?

 

[DarkMann]

The Appdata folder is normally hidden. You will either have to set the PC to Show Hidden Files, or type the folder address into the address bar of file explorer.

I changed my folder setting to show hidden files and I was able to find the bundle

 

[Cableguy]

after B4J packager finishes the folder should open the bundles folder automatically!

I'm having this issue as well.

I downloaded and setup Inno, I downloaded the B4JPackager.jar.

When I run the B4JPackager.jar, the form opens, I enter the correct paths/info, and then run it.

The form disappears, no folders open up, and I can't find a "bundles" folder. I searched for it and no results.

I looked in: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\B4JPackager but there is no bundles folder. There is a copy of the jar file compiled from B4J, but it's only 1 Kb larger. There's nothing in there approaching 40Mb

I just tried B4JPackager with a different file that I was able to successfully package into an *.exe using Launch4J. Again, not bundles folder. I've been searching the forums and can't find an answer to what this issues is.

Most of the problems are related to Inno setup not installed properly. Try to add it to the system path.

 

[TorontoJim]

Now I'm confused. I was using B4JPackager to create the jar, I hadn't even touched Inno yet. Am I supposed to use Inno to create the jar?

Sorry, my first time creating this stuff for distribution in this manner. If there's a more verbose explanation, just point me to it and I'll try to muddle along.

 

[Erel]

Am I supposed to use Inno to create the jar?

No. It just needs to be installed. However other users were able to solve a similar issue by adding it to the path.

 

[TorontoJim]

You're very patient with us and it's appreciated. I'm really not trying to be too taxing, but:

Try to add it to the system path.

I have no clue what that means. Am I adding javapackager or Inno? I had to add javac when I installed the JDK, is that what you mean? The same place? Would I just point to the inno.exe? I've been writing for web servers for 20 years. This is my first time writing for Windows .. and I can be thick.

Try to add the installation folder of Inno Setup to the system path: http://www.howtogeek.com/118594/how-to-edit-your-system-path-for-easy-command-line-access/

Note that I'm not sure that it will solve this issue. I didn't need to add it here for it to work.

Thank you.
