How can I use Ant & InnoSetup to place a directory at installation for JavaFX

I am working on bundling an application as an EXE using INNO SETUP. I have it working, except for one thing.

My project structure looks like this:

src
  ->package
    ->java classes
properties
  ->properties file

The properties file (from external vendor), needs to be placed in a specific location - and I am not sure how to generate this with ANT and INNO.

The resulting file structure needs to look like this

app folder
  ->exe
    runtime
    app
    ->libs
      properties
        ->server.properties
      app.cfg
      app.jar

I am not really sure how to accomplish this.

Thanks!

I think using the [Files] section with Source and DestDir might work out here.

There are two (or even more) ways to do this:

You may prepare the directory structure beforehand with ant. That means you create the folder structure present after installation utilizing ant on your machine and tell Innosetup to include all files and folders and just extract them.

[Files]
Source: "x:\app folder\*"; DestDir: "{app}";

Or you work with your project folder structure and tell Innosetup to include your files from their specific locations in the project and copy them to specific destination directories.

[Files]
Source: "x:\project\properties\properties.xml"; DestDir: "{app}\app\properties\";
