To package a program in Netbeans, you may first need to enable it.

1. Right click on your project and go to Properties
2. Under Build -> Deployment Make sure that Enable Native Packaging is enabled
3. Save and close the Properties window

You will also need to install 1 or both of the following (For windows builds):

• http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php - EXE
• http://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/99514 - MSI

Now to build the installer:

1. Right click on your project and go to Package as and select how you want to package it.
2. Answer the questions it asks and build
