Hi @gfek2001zz!
Please, could you explain your issue a bit more?
AFAIK winrun4j binary file is compiled for 32 bit architecture, but have to check it to be 100% sure

Sorry, you are right. JP just distributes WinRun4J64.exe (64-bit version). I'm going to add support for 32-bit.

Hi again!

Changes pushed into issue-395 branch. I also used this branch to do some more improvements, as remove winrun4j-launcher auxiliary library (not needed anymore).

Tests

64-bit

JP keeps the current behaviour:

<configuration>
	<platform>windows</platform>
	<winConfig>
		<exeCreationTool>winrun4j</exeCreationTool>
	</winConfig>
</configuration>

Simplified configuration just to illustrate JP behavior

After building, you can check (using Sysinternals SisCheck tool, e.g.) that the EXE is 64-bit:

32-bit

I have to bundle a 32-bit JRE (see jrePath) since I'm building on a 64-bit Windows, because WinRun4J 32-bit needs it, unless your system has a 32-bit JRE installed (not my case). Notice that now when using WinRun4J you can set arch=x86 if you want a 32-bit WinRun4J.exe (on a 64-bit Windows system arch=x64 by default).

<configuration>
	<platform>windows</platform>
	<jrePath>C:\Users\fvarrui\jdks\windows\jdk-11.0.22+7-jre</jrePath>
	<arch>x86</arch>
	<winConfig>
		<exeCreationTool>winrun4j</exeCreationTool>
	</winConfig>
</configuration>

And now, after building:

Release

Just released a snapshot version which supports WinRun4j 32-bit EXE: 1.7.6-20240227.185320-2. Take a look at how to use JP snapshot versions in the README.

Please, try it and give me some feedback.
Thanks!

[fvarrui]

New snapshot version released with several improvements: 1.7.6-20240228.024956-3.

Now also checks if the bundled JRE matches the target architecture, preventing an invalid app from being generated.

thanks ！！！

Branch issue-395 merged into devel, ready to be released to Maven Central asap.
