Thank you I'll try this week with InnoSetup.

Definitely go with 1!

If it's any use, my InnoSetup file is here -
https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/resources/pl-installer.iss.template
It's fairly simple, really, and could do more, but does the job. I
only recently stopped running this manually and templated it for use
with Ant - only replaces ${app.version}
Should be easy enough to adapt and experiment with. It's more
flexible more easily than the NetBeans installer, and handles things
like in-place upgrades and shortcut icons much more simply. But the
primary benefit is not having to rely on the embedded JRE to run. In
fact, I did start looking at the possibility of a NetBeans IDE
installer with it that could offer to download the JDK as part of the
installation process.

Looks great! My own first degree (some time ago) was in music, and I
can think of at least one other person around here who should
appreciate a jazz application on NetBeans platform! :-)
Reminds me a little of Frinika, which at one point had a fork on to
NetBeans RCP. And there's also Blue of course.
I'd be very interested to hear more about the underlying architecture
in use - I write / maintain a variety of audio and media Java
libraries as well.
Best wishes,
Neil
