219 case launch4j can't refresh the temporary launcher, bundled JRE on a
220 read only file system for example, it will use one created previously,
221 if it's present and has the correct size. If not, launching will still
222 continue, but with javaw.exe process name.Temporary launchers are
223 now created in the jre directory instead of jre/bin.
