I am studing this page, trying to obtain a standalone app executable:
https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/apps/

I am doing these commands, to obtain an executable standalone of the example that there is on my this folder, but i get an error:

C:\Users\dario\.julia\packages\PackageCompiler\fZ95H\examples\MyApp"

julia> create_app("MyApp","MyAppCompiled")

 Installed Example ─ v0.5.3
[ Info: PackageCompiler: creating base system image (incremental=false)...
[ Info: PackageCompiler: creating system image object file, this might take a while...

HERE, I WAIT A LONG TIME ... TEN MINUTES ABOUT ... AFTER IT GIVES THIS ERROR

What i have do do? what if these errors?

I see it has generated this other folder

C:\Users\dario\.julia\packages\PackageCompiler\fZ95H\examples\MyAppCompiled

with a lot of dll in the \bin subfolder …

But … what i can try toobtain an executable?

Could you post the output of running

using Pkg
Pkg.PlatformEngines.probe_platform_engines!(; verbose=true)
mktempdir() do dir
    url = "https://github.com/JuliaComputing/PackageCompilerX.jl/releases/download/v0.1/x86_64-8.1.0-release-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0.tar.gz"
    Pkg.PlatformEngines.download(url, joinpath(dir, "test.tar.gz"); verbose=true)
end

(Taken from Julia 1.3.1 cannot automatically install - #4 by staticfloat)

This hasn’t really anything to do with PackageCompiler, the artifact installation just seems to fail. Maybe Detect if the powershell is too old on Windows and give the appropriate error message on updating it · Issue #1672 · JuliaLang/Pkg.jl · GitHub is relevant.

This is the output …
