I was trying to use a *.png file as my icon but it wanted *.ico. Once I removed <icon>...</icon> from my config file this error disappeared.

I ran launch4j application as administrator and the error disappeared for me.

Check the icon file you are using (if you are using one). I was coming across the same error when trying to wrap my java executable. I was using a png file that I converted to what I thought was an icon (.ico) file. Turns out this conversion didn't work. After using a correct .ico file I found on my windows system, I used that and it worked.

The reason is a version of JRE on machine where EXE file is executing.

  • Please explain your answer a little bit further.. How version of JRE causes the problem ? – Rahul Vishwakarma Mar 04 '15 at 14:45
  • I got this error “This application was configured to use a bundled Java Runtime Environment but the runtime is missing or corrupted” when version of my JRE doesn't match to version on machine where EXE file is executing. – svichkar Mar 11 '15 at 14:42

    I have JRE 1.8.0 on my machine. I've generated EXE file using default setting with Launch4j program. Then this EXE couldn't be executed on machines where JRE version doesn't match with 1.8.0. The solution is - to specify "Min JRE version" as the earliest JRE version on JRE tab of Settings, e.g. 1.5.0 as I did. Please see my screenShot https://www.dropbox.com/s/ia34ccc7tf3nhpb/JRE_tab.png?dl=0 – svichkar Mar 11 '15 at 14:52

Give the path as \bin\jre_path For instance if you have a folder dist with bin as subfolder having the jre file inside.

None of the above helped me. The answer was to copy JRE's lib and bin folders into a new folder inside dist (I called it jre), then use that folder name as the Bundled JRE Path:enter image description here

[launch4j for Windows][1]

Make sure your launch4j got an '.exe' extension and not '.jar' if you using windows [1]: https://sourceforge.net/projects/launch4j/

hopefully that helps.
