Yes, sure.

Yes.

Everything worked as you described it. In your installer the
problem does not occur. IzPack works as expected. The error
doesn't seem to occur in a small, simple installation.

The difference is obvious. When I use -DTRACE=TRUE with your
installer, I get a complete log for all executable files.
Everything looks perfect.

When I use the same with my installer, I get a log that shows
the first executable file running fine, then I get the error,
"com.izforge.izpack.installer.ResourceNotFoundException: Can not
find Resource UninstallerIcon for language eng".

After a few additional error lines the log ends. It doesn't show
the other executable files, probably because it has stopped
working after the error. Here's a longer part of the end of my
log:

It seems that the error is caused by the installer trying to
find a resource named UninstallerIcon. I don't know where that
comes from. Neither my files, nor any IzPack documentation files
contain that word. I have no idea why the installer looks for
that resource.

I think that "UninstallerIcon" is the key to understanding this
problem. I append my install.xml file below.

Thanks for bearing with me. I'm certainly unable to solve this
problem without help. I've tried all kinds of modifications in
the hope of hitting the cause, but I couldn't get rid of the
error.
