Mac/Windows Installer - Run on Startup

Question

Dear All:

I realize there are 10,000 answers for this on StackOverflow, but my needs are quite specific: i) install a JAR file on ii) Windows/Mac so that it iii) runs on Startup oh and iv) auto-JRE install would be great

That's it. I've looked at several tools including Inno Setup: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php#features

but there does not seem to be a good tool that targets both Windows and Mac.

Any ideas?

Thank you Misha

Answer 1

Flexera's InstallAnywhere is a cross-platform installer supporting Windows, Linux, and Macintosh:

(note: it's expensive)

Answer 2

Give InstallJammer a try. Free, open source, and the 1.3 snapshots show support for Mac OS X, though it's not quite complete yet. You might also try BitRock InstallBuilder if you need full OS X support immediately. Probably a bit cheaper than InstallAnywhere.
