Application installed with MSI does not run about javapackager HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi Russ,
thanks to you for helpìng to improve JavaPackager!

Shouldn't the main class be com.starfishmedical.sfdq.app.SfdqGui instead of com.company1.app.SfdqGui? (I don't know if you tried to anonymize your message, and your class name is right)

Ha ha! You are correct on both accounts. The class name was incorrect in the pom file and I tried and failed completely to anonymize my message. I knew I was going to stuff that up.

Although the failure is another, you don't have to directly run the executable JAR (SmartCableTool-0.1.13-SNAPSHOT-runnable.jar) from the target directory:

C:\Users\rhaley.SPE\starfish\Sfdq_Java_App_39789\target> java -jar .\SmartCableTool-0.1.13-SNAPSHOT-runnable.jar

because it will look for dependencies in the libs directory, which is not there, but in the generated target\SmartCableTool directory. This directory contains your application as it will be installed on the client. Anyway, you can copy or move the runnable JAR to this folder (target\SmartCableTool) and run it from there.

If a wrong class name is not the problem, you can change headerType property to console and it will print any message when running your EXE (target\SmartCableTool\SmartCableTool.exe). Maybe this will give us some clue.

That's great advice. Perhaps that tidbit could be added to the headerType configuration description in docs/windows-specific-properties.md?

Thank you for your time, your patience in solving my self-inflicted errors is greatly appreciated.
