How to use custom * .ISS with javafx-ant, maven and INNO?
I am trying to create a custom installer for my application using maven, inno and javafx-ant. I looked at this link but it seems I didn't get the results described by Inno and Maven
I have my installer build successfully and my app installs successfully. However, this always applies to the user / AppData / Local /. I changed this in my regular * .iss file as follows:
DefaultDirName={pf}\cashreceipts
UsePreviousAppDir=No
Uninstallable=yes
However, this file is not picked up at build time. I added the required application-name.iss file to src / main / deploy / package / windows / application-name.iss but didn't build.
I'm not sure what else to try to get this file being used in my assembly.
Thank!
Below is the maven config for the build step.

I was able to confirm that the ZENJAVA plugin is still working and maintained on github and it can do it. Information here:
