Installer
I am using Ant to package and distribute our Java application.
Unfortunately, we have to set some register settings on the customer's
machine (to use COM components). We have been using InstallShield to do
this. Is there any Ant task that integrates with InstallShield or a similar
product?
Thanks
Marc

Which flavor of InstallShield? InstallShield MultiPlatform (ISMP) is Java
based and has an XML project file. You could build the installation package
for ISMP with a java task.

if we are talking windows installation here, note that you may need a

There is a sourceforge project to go from an XML spec of your app to an MSI
install file
http://msi2xml.sourceforge.net/ that you could <exec> from your app

favors) and execute it?
