creating setup with database

[javastuden]

Hai friends,
I had developed an application for a video shop in netbeans in which the there were English,Hindi etc section .If the user choose the english the data means the list of dvd,cd will be loaded on the drop down and the list of coustomers or a textbox to enter the new coustomer who want to take the dvd or cd for rent,the appliction was mainly developed on swing,and the data that stores is in the ms acess.And there are other features also for the appliction.After the completion of the project the i clean and build the appliction,Then the netbeans create a jar file,But my problem is that how i will give the project to the customer ie the customer is a less knowledge in computer so i had to give this appliction in a setup formate so that if he clicked the setup it will auto matically install the software with the whole database connection and database ,and if any day he uninstalled the s/w the data that store initially has not be remove from the computer,i had gone through install4j s/w to make the setup but i not fully success in developing the s/w.Will any body please help me how to do the above thing or any website that form the tutorial to do ,

Thanks in advance

deploying a jarred java can have issues especially if things aren't in the right folder ....I suggest jarring a simpler java program that will deploy the main java application and all the program has to do is create the file structure and you should make a hidden file with an unknown file extension .wtf or whatever that always hold the data.

You can deploy your project into a jar file actually, not using NetBeans, manually. You can find a nice tutorial about jar deploying in Suns' official web site.

And also you can use launch4j, which you can use to create single executable.

another important thing is to make sure that your clients computer has the most current java virtual Machine

Actually those things you can test within your application. Depends on the validation you can take an action (prompt a message with JRE download) to the user.
