WinZip is free, and you can specify the default directory, but it is
true that the user can override and screw this up.  It does not have a
method for uninstall either...  hmmm, I wish Sun would make this
installer once and for all.

That only gives you an self extracting archive.  It won't necessarily
but
the DLLs and JAR files in the correct directories.  InstallShield might
be a
better solution.  I believe they have demos and trial versions at
http://www.installshield.com/.

The answer to your question is WinZip.  You use it to first make the
.zip file, then it also has an option to change the .zip to a
self-extracting .exe file.

Hi,

http://www.j3d.org/tutorials/quick_fix/auto_install.html. on how to
create a custom java3d installer.
Ok I want that my_ java3d_installer.exe the following files in the jre
directory of the user :

 bin/j3daudio.dll
               bin/J3D.dll
               lib/ext/j3daudio.jar
               lib/ext/j3dcore.jar
               lib/ext/vecmath.jar
               lib/ext/utils.jar
