Did you also try with Defold and your project located somewhere in your home folder?

That part of the bundle process will run aapt (android asset packing tool) on Android resources. Perhaps access to the tool (included in the Defold editor) or project files is prevented somehow by Windows or some security software.

Also, check that you have set all application icons in the Android section of game. project.

Also i run Defold as administrator and still get an error  
What about icons?  
Thats enough?

Also i setup all icons in “push” fields  
I dont using any security software and i set “allow” in firewall  
Isn’t strange?)

What have you set as package name in the Android section of game. project?

Hmm, ok. We need to add additional logging to understand what is going on. I can prepare a custom version of bob.jar with extra logging later this week (I’m traveling today and tomorrow) and share that with you.

There’s a bob.jar with some additional loggin available for download here:

[https://d.defold.com/alpha/](https://d.defold.com/alpha/)

I would appreciate if you could give it a try with the same command line as before and share the output here! Thanks.

I can’t say for sure what is failing.  
One thing to note is that we only support Java 11, due to the fact that that’s what Android supports.

Also, please post text, as opposed to screenshots.  
It’s very hard to read, and it isn’t searchable.  
POst the t ext between triple ` and you’ll get it formatted:

```lua
some text

```

Thanks. This shows some additional info:

- It fails when compiling `C:\Users\Home\EmptyProject\build\default\EmptyProject\res\com.defold.android` to `C:\Users\Home\AppData\Local\Temp\compiled_resources8823678185608 321696\com.defold.android`
- It fails with code `-1073741701`. Weird code to be honest. I need to look into this.

What strikes me as strange is `C:\Users\Home`. Is your user really named “Home”?

Yeah, it was a bit of a long shot as it’s a temporary folder that we try to delete after the process is done with it.

I’m out of ideas. There is something on your computer preventing java from running aapt2.exe from that temporary folder.
