I got this working by decompiling and adding a second bitmap. You can close the ticket, thanks.

Okay, I unzipped the exe using 7zip and found the contents of my jar file, but no sign of the Launch4j content, including the splash bitmap. Am I just not looking in the right place, or is your content ignored/discarded by the unzipper? In some ways, that would be ideal for me, because the licensing information in the exe wrapper cannot be overwritten without some fairly high-level skills. If you're not in a position to provide a writable space, I will look at modifying Launch4j myself (or starting...

Hi there, I guess that could work, but I already have a solution writing to the splash bmp, which is relatively easy because the bmp is not compressed. You are proposing unzipping the exe, unzipping the jar, writing to something within the jar, and then trying to put it all back together. That's not all that different from writing my own Launch4j. Also, it may not be possible to write to the jar while it is running. I just need to be able to set the splash screen to show for zero seconds. There seems...

As the first step in looking into the feasibility of unzipping the exe, I tried changing the exe extension to zip... The result was not a usable zip file.

Writable space in wrapper for custom data

Hi there, This would be a very nice feature to add. As it is, the program fails with no clues as to why. I realsied it worked when I excluded the spasl screen, and then found the solution on Stack Overflow, but I still wasted some time. Regards, Craig.
