Hello all,

This is the situation:
location of the generated file key:

C:/Software/Android/APK/keytools/key/kill-them-all.keystore

location of the original file to be signed by jarsigner:

C:/Software/Android/APK/keytools/kill-them-all.apk

this is my command line:

C:\Software\Android\APK\keytools\key>C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\b
in\jarsigner -verbose -keystore key/C:/Software/Android/APK/keytools/key -signed
jar kill-them-all_signed.apk kill-them-all.apk kill-them-all.store

this is the response:

Enter Passphrase for keystore: I enter the password

this is the response:

jarsigner error: java.lang.RuntimeException: keystore load: C:\Software\Android\
APK\keytools\key\key\C:\Software\Android\APK\keytools\key (The filename, directo
ry name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)

The problem is I cannot find the error in my command line.

Solution 1

Change your command line to;

C:\Software\Android\APK\keytools\key>C:\"Program Files (x86)"\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\jarsigner -verbose -keystore kill-them-all.keystore -signed jar kill-them-all_signed.apk kill-them-all.apk kill-them-all.store

You should just give the name to the key store, not the full path.
