use innosetup software to create the executable setup file.

1)place all the class files in a folder and place a manifest file in that folder specifying the main class to execute first.
2)place one bmp or gif file that to be viewed after installation.
3)create a jar file in cmd prompt like:
jar -cvfm name.jar META-INF\manifest.mf .
4)this jar file is to be created in that folder only,
after that use this jar file and bmp file in the innosetup tool and make the setup file that s all.
