I think it wouldnt be too difficult to write your own.

You may need to write to the registry to register the software in
windows and check the jre version(if any). I have done similar stuff
where I work. It wasnt for the purposes of an installation some of the
parts are the same as what you have described: checking dependancies,
installing third party software, and all that. You could make a swing
UI with all the normal installer features.

Otherwise, I know of nothing off-the-shelf. Sorry if this doesnt help,
however, it is definitely free!! :)
