jpackage and Wix 5

[Davide Perini]

I add some context:

I installed wix 5 using the donet command globally,
wix is in the path but when I try to run my jpackage command I get this 
error:

jpackage -i ./target --type exe --main-class 
org.dpsoftware.JavaFXStarter --main-jar 
FireflyLuciferin-jar-with-dependencies.jar --icon 
./data/img/luciferin_logo.ico
  --win-menu --win-menu-group Ambilight --copyright "Davide Perini" 
--name "Firefly Luciferin"  --vendor DPsoftware --win-dir-chooser 
--win-shortcut --win-per-user-install --win-shortcut 
--win-shortcut-prompt --java-options "-XX:+UseZGC -Xms64m -Xmx1024m"
