How to setup Inno Setup plugin in NetBeans

Question

I tried to create exe file of my code, in JavaFX, using NetBeans. I installed Inno Setup on my system, but still it gives error:

Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "iscc" (in directory "D:\\Ami\\DhruwCreation\\Album\\June2016\\01-June-2016-Integrated\\DisplayImageAndUpload"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

D:\\Ami\\DhruwCreation\\Album\\June2016\\01-June-2016-Integrated\\DisplayImageAndUpload\\nbproject\\build-native.xml:441: Error:

JavaFX native packager requires external Inno Setup 5+ tools installed and included on PATH to create EXE installer. See http://www.jrsoftware.org/

BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

When I click on the error message it goes to build-native.xml file and highlights the following line:

<fail message="Error:${line.separator}${missing.Inno.message}" if="missing.Inno"/>

As the error message suggests, you have to add a path to the iscc to PATH environment variable.

In Windows Control Panel, go to System and Security > System > Advanced system settings and click Environment Variables button. Locate the Path variable, click Edit and add a path to the folder where the Inno Setup is installed. Ie typically the C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Inno Setup 5 .

You have to restart your IDE after setting the PATH (or even better your machine).
