Javafx Deployment Issues

I want to deploy javafx application:

It generates the executable file but with following problems:

  • I am not able to set the application icon

  • I am not able to set the custom .iss file or .wix file for the executable

  • Resulting app is installed as Unknown in startup .

  • Resulting app is installed on AppData folder of current user not in program files as other applications

  • It does not create desktop shortcut.

    With verbose output I get following on console:

    add package/windows/sample4deploy.ico to the class path to customize)

add package/windows/sample4deploy.wxs to the class path to customize)

Using default package resource [Inno Setup project file] (add package/windows/sample4deploy.iss to the class path to customize)

Using default package resource [setup dialog icon] (add package/windows/sample4deploy-setup-icon.bmp to the class path to customize)

Following these messages:

I created folder named package in root directory of app and in that windows folder.

So my path package/windows .I added athe resources in that folder such as app icon , .wix file . iss file .

Still it takes the default values

I am not getting what is wrong with it ..

Please update your ant path:

In my case, Netbeans->tools->options->java->ant

Added the Folder that contains the "package folder". So that Ant can search for the icon or image.
