[mjp-user] Installer

[Mike B. <mbr...@vi...>]

I'm building a Windows Installer (MSI) based setup executable for MJP using
C# and the MSI API.

I plan to search the registry for JDK's and prompt the user to select one to
set JAVA_HOME to.  MJP_HOME will be set to the installation directory and
MJP_HOME will be appended to PATH.

The package will be delivered either was a zip file or a self-extracting
executable.  After unzipping, the user must run setup.exe.  Do you know of a
easy way to make everything happen in one step?  I would be nice if I could
distribute a setup.exe that both extracted the files and installed them.  I
know how to do this with JBuilder.  JBuilder can build executables that have
embedded read-only filesystems in them.  Typically this is used to embedd
jar files and other resources into a single executable.

Thoughts?
