[FahmiRR]

Thanks for starting new issue

So is there anyway to overcome this one?

Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.directory.DirectoryException: Error copying file: aux.xml

This error occurs because one of the files in the APK is called aux and that's one of the reserved device names in DOS (and now Windows). In other words: It's impossible to name a file aux (or any other reserved name) on a Windows system, it just doesn't work. In order to fix this you could try using another operating system like Linux which doesn't have this annoying limitation.

Hi, sorry for late reply, already installed linux but facing another issues here #23

[niklashigi]

I'm closing this issue as there's no real way to fix this apart from not using Windows.
