Exporting to .exe doesnt work

Processing
1

Hello!
My program works fine, but I can’t get the export to work. I get the windows-amd64 folder, but there is no exe file in there. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Any help is appreciated!!
I’m using processing 4.0.1 with Java on Windows

In the console I get this message:

C:\Users\jakob\Desktop\processing4_projects\snakes\noise_snakesJava\windows-amd64\launch4j-build.xml

Hi @wudy,

Welcome to the forum! :wink:

When you have this kind of issue, you can search on GitHub issues on the Processing repository:

I don’t know if one of them solves your issue but otherwise you can create a new one (if you are familiar with GitHub and have an account). Maybe on Processing4’s repository since you are using it…
