Wrong PE checksum sometimes...

When wrapping instead of using JNI, one must recalculate the PE checksum unless one is codesigning.

Can you provide some details, describe what you are doing and when the problem happens?
What version are you using on what system?
What is the launch4j configuration used?

I think I understand what you mean out of your other comments. It's not about JNI actually because there you can also wrap. But rather a difference when you wrap the jar and use a launcher without wrapping.

Yes, 'ld' calculate and update the PE header's checksum. Then after that the jar file is appended to the PE. Now the checksum has to be updated again.
Í was thinking of providing a tool for this based on libbfd. I might start coding it
