Create Installer for Java Application Which run as Windows Service

I have requirement to create installer for java application. The application should serve as Native Windows Service. I have seen following projects which can be used to execute Java Application as Windows Service.

  1. Java Service Wrapper

  2. YAJSW ....

Issue: As i have to deploy the service on more than 20 systems (Can be increased with passage of time). So i think i would be good enough to create installer and distribute the installer file.

So how i can create installer file for java application which run as Windows Service ?

Solution

  • This is an example, using the built-in support for Java from Advanced Installer.

    Advanced Installer will generate at the end an MSI that will install your application, a wrapper EXE that can also run and install as a Win32 service. Along that it contains many other options that could be handy, like an automatic updater, etc...
