Hi!

@tinoymalayil

You could create a batch file or use a WSH script to create an installer. You'll have to give the customer a copy of the Java Runtime Environment too. It's simple and cost-effective!

You might want to try using Java Web Start which makes the installation process simpler in many cases.

There are proprietary solutions for making a Java application appear to be the same as a native Windows application, but that's commercial software and you will have to purchase software licenses.

Some of the recommended ways are to create one of these.

1. Java web start: if your app connects to internet for manipulating data then this is the choice for you. you can even choose this to allow launching app right from the browser.

2. Jar file : you can make executable jar files. and distribute across machines so that you can run app where Java is installed.

3. Creating installer or Executable: To create installer or executable. Following software might help yo.

Hi Mahesh!

Thanks for the links to Launch4J and Jsmooth. I never realised we've got open-source products that can create native Windows executables. I guess it's a sign that I've been out of Java development for wayyy too long. I also liked the article titled Java-2-Exe. It makes for an interesting read.
