IntelliJ IDEA creating an MSI-installer for a JavaFX application

Question

I'm trying to create an MSI-installer for my JavaFX application. This is briefly what I've done so far. I created a new artifact for JavaFX and selected the Native Bundle to be MSI in the Java FX -tab. After that, I built the artifact. When I opened the output -folder, there was no.msi installer. Instead, there were 3 other files (one HTML-, jar-, and jnlp-file). What am I missing here? Where is the MSI-file?

What you are looking for is all part of standard JDK 14. Its called jpackage. If you need a tutorial to see how it works have a look here: https://github.com/dlemmermann/JPackageScriptFX
