exe4j Wizard - Overview

## exe4j Wizard - Overview |

| When invoking exe4j from the start menu, the desktop icon or by executing `bin\exe4j.exe` in the exe4j installation directory, the exe4j wizard is started. It guides you step by step through completing the required information for building the executable. The window of the wizard has three distinct areas: (1) Index The index of steps lists all steps of the wizard and highlights the current step in bold face. You can click on any step in the index to arbitrarily move between wizard steps. Alternatively, you can use the navigation controls (see below). (2) Current step The information for the current step is entered here. See the help pages for each step for specific information. (3) Navigation The navigation bar allows you to move back and forward through the steps of the wizard with the [Next] and [Previous] buttons. The [Finish] button allows you to complete the wizard immediately without moving through the remaining steps. Should any required information be missing, the wizard will alert you to it. The [Help] button shows context specific help that is also available by pressing F1. With the [Cancel] button you can leave the wizard at any time. Should you have made modifications to the configuration, you will be asked whether you want to save your changes before the wizard exits.

| By default, the wizard starts with a template config file that contains default values where appropriate. The template config file is loaded from `config\template.exe4j` in the exe4j installation directory. If you would like to load a config file at startup, you can pass the path of the desired config file to the wizard executable (`bin\exe4j.exe` in the exe4j installation directory).
