Re: [java-181] Windows Installers for Java Programs Stack Overflow has a good response on this question:

Nullsoft (NSIS) would be my first thought.

Hello everyone,

What do you use to create Windows installer packages for Java based
programs? What I am looking for is something that allows you to package
a JRE, is customizable (at least like company logo, license, etc),
creates start menu entries for java programs (with customizable icons),
able to mark a program as to be run on system startup(!)  and - ideally
-  free :-) (or at least "reasonably priced").
In the best of all worlds, it would detect a compatible JRE being
already installed on the target system and skipping JRE installation
accordingly, but I realize that may be asking for to much. Oh - and I
don't want to use webstart.

If anyone has any first/second hand experience with a suitable software,
I would love to hear about it...

Thanks,
Maik
