I have been going through the izpack manual for days. But was helpless figuring out, how to compile the install.xml . You just save me another week’s worth of searching. Thanks a lot! This is the best tutorial about izpack! Thanks again!! It worked fine for me..

Hi,

I followed your steps and got everything which I wanted. The installer created the Shortcut on the Desktop. When I clicked on the Shortcut, it ran the Software.

But the only issue is, the files being created by my software are getting created on the Desktop, rather, it should have been created in the Installation Folder.

How to overcome this problem?

And how to create installers and Shortcuts for Linux and Mac OS?

Thanks and Regards,

Issac Varghese

Much Thanks! I’ve been trying to get the ShortCutPanel to work for some time….:( With your article (sample app) as a reference point I could see how the directory structure should look. Much appreciated.

Please double check your install.xml, especially the part with ‘packs’ where all the files to be copied are declared.

Well written article, Krzysztof.

I think you’re right that writing xml by hand is the “hardest part”. It’s too error prone and seems seems primitive. Why choose a java installer builder that makes you do that? You use Netbeans instead of the java command line tools.
