Thanks Konstantin, I should have noticed the section in the BUILDING.txt, I read it once and didn't need the installer at that time, so I just forgot about it.
Yes, I need the installer to distribute and installer version to someone else for a patch I made to the code and who couldn't cope with anything else, unfortunately. ----------------- Daniel Savard 2016-02-14 7:06 GMT-05:00 Konstantin Kolinko <knst.koli...@gmail.com>: > 2016-02-14 4:50 GMT+03:00 Daniel Savard <daniel.sav...@gmail.com>: >> Hi everyone, >> >> I am trying to perform a "build release" from source code for Tomcat >> 8.0.32 and I am running into the following error when it is time to >> create the actual installer file. >> >> >> BUILD FAILED >> E:\Utilisateurs\dsavard\Projets\apache-tomcat-8.0.32-src\build.xml:2223: >> Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program >> "E:\Utilisateurs\dsavard\Projets\apache-tomcat-8.0.32-src\output\dist\tempinstaller.exe" >> (in directory >> "E:\Utilisateurs\dsavard\Projets\apache-tomcat-8.0.32-src\output\dist"): >> CreateProcess error=740, L'opération demandée nécessite une élévation >> at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1047) >> at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:617) >> at >> org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.launcher.Java13CommandLauncher.exec(Java13CommandLauncher.java:58) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute.launch(Execute.java:428) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Execute.execute(Execute.java:442) >> at >> org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask.runExecute(ExecTask.java:629) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask.runExec(ExecTask.java:670) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask.execute(ExecTask.java:496) >> at >> org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:293) >> at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor4.invoke(Unknown Source) >> at >> sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) >> at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) >> at >> org.apache.tools.ant.dispatch.DispatchUtils.execute(DispatchUtils.java:106) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:348) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:435) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.performTasks(Target.java:456) >> at >> org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeSortedTargets(Project.java:1405) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:1376) >> at >> org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor.executeTargets(DefaultExecutor.java:41) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:1260) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:853) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.startAnt(Main.java:235) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:285) >> at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:112) >> Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=740, L'opération >> demandée nécessite une élévation >> at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) >> at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(ProcessImpl.java:385) >> at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:136) >> at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1028) >> ... 23 more >> >> Total time: 1 minute 28 seconds >> >> Here is my translation for the following error message: >> >> CreateProcess error=740, L'opération demandée nécessite une élévation >> CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation >> >> Obviously, the program requires more privileges than my current user. >> How do I fix this to complete the process and create the installer >> file for Windows? > > > Quoting from BUILDING.txt of Tomcat 8: > > [q] > 2.
