(install4j's licensing options were better for us - we strongly preferred a couple of floating licenses to named licenses for all developers or an expensive "site license").When creating installers on Linux, the look & feel of install4j IDE was nicer (more "native") than that of BitRock.install4j has better support for JRE bundling.Also some basic things like defining the filesets that are to be copied to the target system, and adding an installation step to replace certain strings in configuration files seemed somewhat easier in install4j.In install4j, adding custom screens and forms (with or without custom Java code), asking user for input, etc., can be done at any point, before or after installing any files.

BitRock uses a more hard-coded sequence of installation steps while install4j is more flexible.

install4j definitely has better support for running custom Java code - it can be done at any point during the installation, and regardless of whether there's any preinstalled JRE on the system.

In the following things install4j seemed anycodings_java better than BitRock for our needs (many anycodings_java of these are subjective, of course, so anycodings_java YMMV):

Both companies seem to have good support (well, at least for prospects evaluating their products -) Especially from BitRock we got very quick replies.

(With install4j it literally took me just five minutes to learn it and then implement it.)

Both tools could easily be automated so that installer building is triggered from Ant.

exe installers that areĮasy to customise with your own graphics etc.

They produce completely native and pretty Windows.

For these anycodings_java tools, we downloaded evaluation versions anycodings_java and did some prototyping, to see if the anycodings_java things that are most important to us are anycodings_java really supported, and how easy or hard anycodings_java it is to get things working.īoth of the options were good in many anycodings_java things (and both seemed good anycodings_java alternatives to InstallAnywhere): We screened out most of them early on, anycodings_java and ended up shortlisting two options anycodings_java for closer evaluation: BitRock anycodings_java InstallBuilder and install4j.

We (quickly) evaluated the following anycodings_java installer tools, mostly by looking at anycodings_java their websites and browsing for other anycodings_java information on the web: Actual anycodings_java Installer, Advanced Installer, BitRock anycodings_java InstallBuilder, Inno Setup, Install anycodings_java Creator, Installer VISE for Windows, anycodings_java InstallShield, install4j, IzPack, NSIS, anycodings_java openInstaller, Scriptlogic MSI Studio, anycodings_java Smart Install Maker, Symantec Wise anycodings_java Installation Studio, and WiX. anycodings_java However, I'm posting our experiences anycodings_java here, as they might be helpful to others anycodings_java later on. In this case, unfortunately, SO didn't anycodings_java tell us much that we didn't know already anycodings_java (and indeed the tool we ultimately chose anycodings_java was not mentioned in any answer). Once that is done, however, it must be possible to skip the GUI and make installer building part of automated build process.

Should preferably have a decent GUI for putting the installer together.The tool should preferably be cross-platform so that installer development can be done on Linux, Windows, or Mac.Preferably does not depend on a preinstalled JRE (or any other 3rd party runtime environment or library) on target machine in other words, can produce an independent Windows.

(Must support bundling a specific version of JRE at the very least by including a ZIP to be extracted).Must support basic stuff like copying and moving files around, editing configuration files, extracting ZIPs, etc.Must be able to install a bundled application server (such as Resin or Tomcat) as a service on Windows.

Must support Windows, including latest 64-bit versions like Windows Server 2008 support for other target operating systems is a plus.Must support running custom Java code as part of installation procedure.Which (commercial or free) installer tool anycodings_windows-installer would you recommend to replace anycodings_windows-installer InstallAnywhere as the installer for a Java anycodings_windows-installer EE application? What do you specifically anycodings_windows-installer like about it, and what are its downsides?
