All of the above Launch5j variants are available as `i586` (32-Bit) and `x86-64` (64-Bit) executables. The `i586` (32-Bit) executables can run on *32-Bit* and *64-Bit* versions of Microsoft® Windows™, whereas the `x86-64` (64-Bit) executables necessarily require a *64-Bit* version of Microsoft® Windows™. Consequently, it is generally recommended to distribute the `i586` (32-Bit) launcher executable with your Java application. Please note that this does **not** restrict the “bitness” of the JRE that can be used. Even the `i586` (32-Bit) launcher executable is perfectly able to detect and launch a *64-Bit* JRE – if it is available.

Launch5j comes with a *default* executable icon and a *default* splash screen bitmap. These just server as an example and you probably want to replace them with your own *application-specific* graphics.

It is *not* necessary (though possible) to re-build the executable files for that purpose. Instead, you can use the excellent [**Resource Hacker™**](http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/) utility to “edit” the pre-compiled executable files and *replace* resources as needed: It is ***not*** necessary to re-build the executable files for that purpose.
