There are several projects available for creating installers.
I use izpack (http://www.izforge.com/izpack/), which is a free product. The created install package (a jar file) can be run on any system.

Hmmm. Based on your original question, I thought Robert's answer would have been close to perfect for your needs.

Perhaps you could explain what exactly you are after? Do you want the source code for an application such as IzPack?

Regards, Andrew

Piracy prevention is a whole topic unto itself (or even a whole book).

So why doesn't izPack meet your needs for a client side installer? (I am not trying to push that product, just trying to drag some information out so we can try and answer your question.)
