Making Installer for Java application with MySQL database

Question

I am looking for an installer for my Java Application that can bundle my own JRE and MySQL database, and I have heard of Install4J. Does Install4J have the feature of bundling MySQL Database 5.0 so that my customers can easily install the application with MySQL as the database?

Have you considered Aapche Derby instead of mySQL? It is pure java and can be embedded as a jar in your application, so if there is no special need for MySQL it might be an option. — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen

You can use Inno Setup.Download from http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

for installing mysql and jre ,you can use batch files and calling in inno setup.

you should silent install mysql and jre with batch files.

example for silent install jre7u7:

jre-7u7.exe /s UPDATE=0

example for silent install mysql:

msiexec /i "mysql-5.5.21.msi" /quiet INSTALLDIR="%PROGRAMFILES%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5"

exmaple for silent configure instance mysql:

MySQLInstanceConfig.exe -i -q "-lC:\mysql_install_log.txt" "-nMySQL Server 5.5" "-p%pro%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5" -v5.5.21 "-t%PROGRAMFILES%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\my-template.ini" "-c%pro%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\my.ini" ServerType=DEVELOPMENT DatabaseType=MIXED ConnectionUsage=OLTP Port=3306 ServiceName=Mysql Charset=utf8

does Inno setup support running a script too prior to install. For e.g after creating DB, we can run .sql file to create tables?
