| install4j's main window is organized into 6 steps that are required to build a set of media files. The side bar on the left as well as the forward and back buttons in the top right corner let you navigate between these steps: Step 1: General Settings (`CTRL-1`) In the General Settings step, you provide important information about your application and the build preferences, such as the name of your application, the JRE search sequence and the directory where the media files should be placed. Step 2: Files (`CTRL-2`) In the Files step, you define your distribution tree, that means you collect files from different places to be distributed in the generated media files. You can optionally define installation components. Step 3: Launchers (`CTRL-3`) In the Launchers step, you define the properties of the native launchers that will enable your users to start your application. Step 4: Installer (`CTRL-4`) In the Installer step, you configure the installer screens and actions. Step 5: Media (`CTRL-5`) In the Media step, you define the media files that will be created to distribute your application to your end users. Step 6: Build (`CTRL-6`) In the Build step, you start the actual generation of the media files.
