*** Overview
For Java, how would we instruct the .exe file generated by Advanced Installer, to run a specific .class file?
*** Details
I would rather not have Advanced Installer wrap up my files in a .jar file. How would I make it so that the .exe file generated by Advanced Installer runs a specific .class file in the root directory of my installation?
I want to execute the .class file directory, with all the advantages that the .exe file brings: checking of JVM, multiple instance checking, etc.

Hi,
1. Advanced Installer doesn't wrap the files inside a JAR. The jar file must be created by the user and then added to the project like any other file.
2. Here is how you could run a specific .class file.
- Place that file in a separate folder. In the "Files and Folders" page use the [ New Folder ] toolbar button to create a regular folder. Place the .class file in that folder.
- Go to the "Java Products" page Use the [ Folder ] button to add the created folder to the "Classpath".
- Select from the "Main Class" drop-down list the name of the class.
In order to set your application to run in "Single Instance" mode you must first specify in the Main class of your application a method with the signature:
public static secondaryMain(String args[])
This method will be called every time the application is reinstantiated.
