# [Installation-Wizard-App](https://github.com/af4092/Installation-Wizard-App/tree/main)
Application is an installation wizard for the JDK (Java Development Kit). It is a JavaFX-based GUI Windows Desktop Application that guides users through the process of downloading and installing the JDK, as well as setting the path environment variable.
- [Wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard_(software)) - A software wizard or setup assistant is a user interface that leads you through a sequence of small steps, like a dialog box to configure a program for the first time. A complex, rare, or unfamiliar task may be easier with a wizard that breaks the task into simpler pieces. But a wizard may be a barrier to deeper understanding, and a substitute for clearer design.
```
+ DOWNLOAD => jdk-20 installer download is successful
+ INSTALLATION => jdk installation is successful
+ PATH => setting the environmental path is successful
```
- When running `jar` application `javafx-sdk-20.0.1` should be also installed in the local environment, after that from the terminal following command is required to start the application:
```
java --module-path "C:/Program Files/Java/javafx-sdk-20.0.1/lib" --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml -jar InstallerWizard-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
```
----------------------------
- `launch.bat` file should be placed in the same directory as the `*.jar` file. And instead of running jar file launch file can be run
- `launch.bat` script is the batch script written in the Windows command prompt sets up the necessary environment variables (JAVA_HOME, PATH, MODULE_PATH, MAIN_CLASS) and then uses the java command to run a Java application with the specified module path, classpath, and main class.
```
@echo off
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17.0.7
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
set MODULE_PATH="C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-20.0.1\lib"
set MAIN_CLASS=com.example.instalwizard.InstalWizar
java --module-path %MODULE_PATH% --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml -cp InstalWizard-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar %MAIN_CLASS%
```

These applications include all application resources, the Java and JavaFX runtimes, and a launcher, and they provide the same install and launch experience as native applications for the operating system.
