Creating MSI Installer from Java App

Hi,
I have a Java web app where I need to generate a desktop and quick-launch shortcut (with a custom icon and URL) for users. Due to security, I plan to create an MSI installer dynamically from Java.

Is it possible to build MSI files on the fly via Java or command-line tools? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!

Re: Creating MSI Installer from Java App

Hello,

Yes, you can build MSI packages using our Command line/PowerShell automation support.

Not quite sure what you mean by this, though. If possible, give me some more details.
