I have a java project which I’m hoping to package and sell. How can I create a .msi file which will install my program on other windows computers?
If there are any tutorials, please direct me to them. I’m also using Eclipse if that has any bearing on how to create the .msi file.
Thanks
There’s nothing special about Java apps when it comes to creating MSI’s other then you have to make sure you have a JVM/JRE installed just like you have to make sure the .NET framework is installed for .NET applications.
Your question is too broad to be able to answer. Implicit in your question is “What tool should I use?” and once that’s decided “How do I make an MSI using this tool?”
