Error while launching launcher.jar

[Aashish nakra]

Hi,
When i try to run the launcher.jar i get the following error :
Jul 11, 2012 5:20:19 PM updater.launcher.SoftwareLauncher main
SEVERE: null
java.io.IOException: Config file not found according to the path
stated in '/config'.
at updater.util.CommonUtil.getClientScript(CommonUtil.java:483)
at updater.launcher.SoftwareLauncher.main(SoftwareLauncher.java:437)

I have placed the launcher.jar and PatchDownloader.jar in the root
folder ( folder where the project is placed in my workspace)
and placed a client.xml file in update directory created there..

[cws1989]

Hi, please move the client.xml from '/update' folder to root folder 
and try again. The default place you place the client.xml should be 
the same folder you place the launcher.jar. 

To change the default path (or file name) of the client.xml, there are 
two ways: 
  1. change the file 'config' that placed in the launcher.jar 
  2. specify the path of the client.xml file as the first argument 
when launching the launcher.jar 

If there is any mistake in the wiki page that leads you to this 
misunderstanding, please tell me and I will correct it. Thanks.

Yes, there is a bug in the launcher that will not replace the "{java}" to the path of java binary. You can use c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin\java for your case instead. Thanks.

Yes , but i am getting a

: Cannot run program
"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin\":

CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied
in that case.

Could you give me an idea about the possible reasons ?
Thanks

Please replace the command c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin to  c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin\java

Hi,
With this there is no error on the screen , but there's no output.. , the Try.jar isn't launcher

[cws1989]

The launcher will not read and print the output stream of the launched software when using command mode.

Hi,

Thanks it works, i can run the application from Launcher.jar , also have written a patch and tested it . :)
How can i create and apply a patch when i have wrapped the jar in an exe using JSmooth ?
The tutorial doesn't specify that .
Thanks

[cws1989]

You can take a look at the video example: http://code.google.com/p/software-updater/wiki/SimpleExample, at about 5:09.

Hi ,
I tried to create a patch using the steps you have given .
I can download the patch but i get the following error while trying to run the update exe

C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\PATCHES\Base\executable1.2>java -jar Launcher.jar

Aug 3, 2012 5:05:02 PM updater.launcher.SoftwareLauncher start
SEVERE: null
java.io.IOException: Add new file: destFile C:\Documents and Settings\331388\Deskto

The checksum and the file size are correct although.

[cws1989]

Hi,

This exception will be thrown with the following conditions:

1. When you create the patch, this file exist in the new version but not exist in the old version

2. This file already exist in the folder being patch and the size or checksum of that existing file not match with the new file in the 'new version'

For example,

Create patch:

  old version: /abc.txt  not exist

  new version: /abc.txt  exist
Patching:

  folder being patch: /abc.txt  exist but size and checksum not match with those in new version

In this situation, we will not replace/patch the existing file with the new file because may be it is the programmer mistakenly included this file and this file is important.

For those file that may be changed, like the user setting files, file-based database, user data etc., they should not be included in the patch, see http://code.google.com/p/software-updater/wiki/AdvancedTutorial#What_kind_of_files_should_not_be_included_in_the_patch?

For more details of other cases, so far there is no wiki, but there is in-code document, see the source code updater.patch.Patcher#doOperation(...), link: http://code.google.com/p/software-updater/source/browse/trunk/SoftwareUpdaterCommon/src/updater/patch/Patcher.java#301
