Installing java app in windows

So I've created an application, packaged it in a jar and created a folder that contains the jar, the batch file to run it, a lib folder with all the library files, and a users guide. My original plan to deploy it was to just copy the folder from the network drive on to the clients PC but now I'm being asked to create an installer so that all the end user will have to do is double click that and the installer does the rest. It has to extract the files, add it to the start menu, the add/remove programs screen, etc... Does anyone know how do go about doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Look at Java Webstart. Forget about all the unpacking/registering/start menu stuff because Java makes a point of not being OS-dependant. With Webstart, you can run apps either from a desktop link, from an application manager, or from an html link or browser bookmark.

  • Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
    Thanks again,
    Virendra

    I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
    You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
    The Must PDF's to refer before installation
    1)r1152ins.pdf
    2)11iconcepts.pdf
    According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
    The installation process can be divided into
    Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
    I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
    Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
    In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
    In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
    1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
    2)1-11 CD's
    1-3 Application Top information
    4th Oracle DB
    5-6 IAS and other tools
    7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
    You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
    While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
    Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
    Installation Types
    Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
    Test ==>For test Env Purposes
    Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.

    This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
    Softwares on System
    Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
    Install VC++:
    Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
    It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
    NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
    Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
    or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
    Evaluation copy from
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
    Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
    Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
    You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
    Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
    It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
    The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
    1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
    This can be done by performing the following steps:
    NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
    1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
    The directory contains the following files:
    README
    djtarnt.exe
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe
    Only two of the files are required:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
    2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
    Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
    3) Point your browser to the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
    The files needed from this directory are:
    make-3.77.tar.gz
    make-3.78.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.tar.gz
    Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
    DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
    4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
    Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
    5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
    command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
    6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
    called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
    Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
    Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
    WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
    See [NOTE:115937.1]

    Installation:
    =============
    What here you require is the Patience .
    Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
    For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
    In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
    It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
    The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
    For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
    The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
    installed products it requires without any failure.
    The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.

  • How to make a shortcut to run my Java app in Windows?

    Hiya, Coders :-)
    I am an absolute beginner.
    I have copied a little window program from "Java 2 in easy steps".
    I run it from the command line and a little window pops up.
    I cannot find a way to start the app without the command prompt.
    How can I make a shortcut to start it?

    Hiya, Coders ;-)
    As it happens, I have a game from UJ Software: "Shisen for Java".
    It has a shortcut, of course.
    Here are all its details just in case it helps ...
    The game folder is here:
    C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\jShisen.jar
    Contents of the installed shortcut ...
    General:
    Type of file: Shortcut
    Opens with: Java(TM) Platform SE binary
    Location: C:\Documents and Settings\Julian Bury\Start Menu\Games
    Shortcut:
    Target Type: Executable Jar File
    Target location: Shisen for Java
    Target: "C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\jShisen.jar"
    Start in: "C:\Program Files\UJ Software\Shisen for Java\"
    Run: Normal window
    I don't suppose this will help.
    It strikes me that nobody knows for certain how to run a java app!
    I have two beginner's books, neither of which mentions anything beyond the command prompt.
    Tricks to minimize the console window are just not professional!
    The solution must be written authoritatively somewhere ...
    has anyone seen it, please?
    Increasingly disturbed ...

  • Cannot Install Java JDK on Windows 7 Home Premium

    Hello all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. I have an issue trying to install ANY JDK on Windows 7 Home Premium. When I run the install it throws an Error: 1722. I've tried looking around on Google but haven't found much. Has anyone else has this error?

    I tried to install the windows7 64-bit jdk on my windows7 64-bit computer with 2 browsers, chrome and firefox. There was no difference between browsers. Then, I repeatedly installed and uninstalled many, many times, trying to figure out what was wrong.
    After an easy install, I click on the jdk program to try to use it, and I get a pop-up saying something like, you have already installed this, do you want to install it again? That is all I get from the installed jdk program, there is nothing else the program will do, only give me that pop-up.
    I then read and studied all the online info from all the java websites. Their website info does not mention this problem. Then I did all the you tube videos that deal with this problem. After watching a you tube video, I clicked start, and typed in cmd, and then typed javac; the message I am given is that javac is not recognized as a command.
    Then, I tried to contact the java/oracle company many different ways, with chat and email, and got NO response; they are not addressing or responding to this situation in any way.
    Last night, I contacted my computer company, and after speaking with them, they are saying they will go into my computer and make the necessary software changes to the windows 7 so that the java jdk will be properly working. Sounds great, but - they want to charge me a lot of $$MONEY. I got two price quotes, $80 and $89. It is not free, which is frustrating. The java download is free, but I do I have to pay to get it properly installed on my computer? Can anyone provide wise advise? Is there any way I can get it properly installed for free?
    Also, someone mentioned that maybe my Norton Antivirus is preventing the proper jdk install, but I doubt it, since the norton antivirus has never before given me any problem.
    Please help. Thanks!

  • How do I install Java on my Windows Mobile?

    Hi there, I'm trying to install Java on my Mobile Phone but can't find the right file and don't know how to install it.
    This seems perfect but the link is way out of date and the file doesn't seem to exist anymore
    http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-java-windows-mobile/
    Does anyone know where I can get Java for my mobile phone? I have a m88 MiPhone with Windos Mobile 6.1 if that helps.
    Cheers

    If your phone vendor doesn't deliver a runtime with the phone or for download on their website, there is little chance you are going to get one.
    There are a few third party runtimes you can Google for, but most if not all viable ones are not free.

  • Problem installing Java EE 6 windows.

    I have downloaded the Java EE 6 SDK windows installer. I find that
    it progresses to about 40% or 75%, but then refuses to progress any further.
    I have Windows 7 64 bit.
    What do I do to find an installer for 64 bit Windows and 64 bit Linux that will finish installing?

    I have run as administrator and found exactly this problem.
    The User Interface for the EE 6 JDK is a bit buggy, but I have found that if I resize the lower edge of the window
    on an off while it installs, I can successfully get through to 100%.
    However, even then, I can't find where it puts javaee.jar v6.
    Where does this file go? Is it now only included as a new version of a newer jar inside Glassfish 3, or not?
    I just can't install Java EE 6, and have tried downloading the installer again with no success.
    Could someone help?

  • Admin rights to install AIR apps on Windows?

    Hi
    I have the  AIR framework 1.5 already installed on a Windows XP PC.
    After this, are admin/power-user rights required to install AIR apps on the same machine to the "My Documents" folder? I would assume NO. Pls clarify.
    If admin rights are required, are there ways to disable certain install features (Add/Remove control panel entry etc) to remove this admin requirement?
    Thanks in advance

    You must have the correct permissions to install anything.  This includes AIR applications.

  • Oracle on Solaris and JAVA app on Windows clients

    hi im currently developing a JAVA app that accesses the data from an Oracle databse, these apps all running on windows clients. Im wondering the best way to access the database? is the JDBC the only way to do this.. thanks in advance

    Yes, you can download a JDBC driver from Oracle. I think this site might do it:
    http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/content.html
    I'm assuming that you're using the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver now to get into Access. You'll just have to change the name of the JDBC driver class and the database URL to connect to Oracle.
    Once you have it, you'll have to make sure you put it in the right place for your app. If it's a Web-based app, it'll depend on the container you're running.

    You could try reseting your device;
    Reformat - Type *#7370# and the phone's lock code (Nokia default lock code is 12345). Warning! This reset wipes your C drive/phone memory! Also, on Symbian^3 devices mass memory gets wiped too.

  • Putting Java app in Windows tray as an icon?

    Is this possible? IS thre a "free" library or API, presumably using JNI, to turn a java app into a windows tray icon so that it isn't in the task bar, only in the tray icon (or both), and when clicked on can open it up as well as provide a context menu?
    Thanks.

    This question is asked a lot.
    Type a few keywords in the search panel and you are lucky.
    Note: this works with google too, I found a solution just by asking google for it.
    Maybe this is helpful though:

  • Push install iOS apps with Windows Intune

    I am wondering, does Windows Intune allow us to push install an app to a iPad, or simply publish to the company store? 
    We have the need to silently install apps on iOS devices.

    If you integrate with ConfigMgr you can.
    Windows Intune stand-alone cannot do that but I expect it will be possible later this year.
