I am currently trying to create an installer for a application that i created. And i want the installer to be able to run on mac, windows and linux for now. Hence, i chose to make my installer in java.

Now, the problem that i am facing is i have to install mysql from within java without giving the user all those unnecessary choices during the setup phase because it really necessary for them to know it. I know this can be done because while installing wamp, this is how mysql is installed. I only need to bother the users for the right things.

So, can somebody tell me how it can be done?

Thanks in Advance

    This might not be exactly what you’re after, but how dependant are you on using mysql as the DBMS? If you use fairly standard SQL and this suits your application, maybe you could switch to Apache Derby? That will allow you to include the whole DB as a part of the installation, and completely invisible to the user.

    See: http://db.apache.org/derby/

    (caveat: I don’t remember the details of the Apache license, but I’m assuming there’s no issue there)
