I created an application in Java and generated a .JAR executable, which works perfectly, after that I used Launch4j that makes my .JAR into .EXE and then I used InstallCreator to create an installer for my .EXE application for a more professional look, but my clients are having difficulty downloading the application generated by InstallCreator because the antivirus does not allow the user to download the .EXE software that is in the format of the InstallCreator (in the format of a Setup), and in some cases (very rare) when you enable download of the Setup generated by InstallCreator, when installed, the antivirus is triggered when the application starts and gives a virus threat signal and the application is blocked, or to run the installed .EXE is "Run as administrator". and this makes it very difficult for the user, does anyone know of any way to get a .jar to turn into .EXE and create an installer that does not generate any problems with antivirus and permissions? And after installing it does not give problem to run?

It all depends on how your Jar is.
There are several ways to get a result that looks like what you want.
1. Download Executable Files
Most sites that distribute executables do them in the form of zip / tar / rar (I do not recommend rar because it is proprietary and tar, since its focus is Windows).
2. You can create a auto extractable file and generate your jar as auto executable
No need to convert to EXE to run directly on Windows.
3. Use another program to do / create the installation or do it using jars that are executable.
In this way you will not need administrative rights.
4. Using native development
I know it's available for JavaFX and #
