Problem with jpackage/Windows and using a different runtime

[Andy Herrick]

Klaus:

My apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

I have tried the (nearly) the exact steps you give and can run the 
resultant app on windows.

My best guess is that it is caused by a problem we have when there are 
spaces in the path given to --runtime-image. (similar to 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223953), but so far I have not 
been able to reproduce.

I assume ..\..\OpenJDK12\bin\myruntime resolves to a path including 
'Program Files'/OpenJDK12

For the failing case, can you post the contents of 
MyProject/application/app/application.cfg ?  Usually when a "jpackage 
create-app-image" command succeeds but the app does not run you can see 
the problem in the cfg file.

/Andy
