[izpack-users] <executable ...> doesn't work (was:shortcutSpec.xml UTF-8 Byte Order Mark breaks IzPack operation)

[Bartz, Klaus]

Hi Hans-Georg,
of curse stage...

First enable traceing at installation with

java -DTRACE=TRUE -jar install.jar

now you should get more or less trace lines. At performing installation
(the InstallPanel) following lines should be shown:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking if os constraints [Os  family windows name null version null arch null ] match current OS
matched current OS.
handeling executable file path = C:\Programme\IzPack\CloseTest\lib\install_helper.bat
mainClass = null
type = 0
executionStage = 0
onFailure = 2
argList: []

osList = [[Os  family windows name null version null arch null ]]
	os: [Os  family windows name null version null arch null ]
keepFile = false

checking if os constraints [Os  family windows name null version null arch null ] match current OS
matched current OS.
executeCommand
	params: C:\Programme\IzPack\CloseTest\lib\install_helper.bat

stdout:

<output on stdout of your batch> 

stderr:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do it, show it.

Klaus
