问题 I'm trying to build a Windows installer using Nullsoft Install System that requires installation by an Administrator. The installer makes a "logs" directory.

帅比萌擦擦* 提交于 2019-12-29 06:25:09
问题 I need to build an installer that does the following: Installs my jar on the client. Auto-detects if JRE is installed (in which case it does not re-install it), otherwise installs it without the user clicking on another button. Auto-starts the application when the client is booted.

Edit : You could probably
