Description iihia 2008-01-31 13:42:34 UTC 
I installed NetBeans IDE 6.0 (Build 200711261600) on D: drive. When I tried to uninstall it and change to the newest
netbeans 6.61, it says the folder "c:\prgramme files\netbeans 6.0 can not be found" and an registry entry can not be
found and can't be uninstalled. It's weired since I installed it onto D: drive instead of C:. This never happens to
previous  netbeans 5.51 or any other softwares.

It seems that the installation directory was somehow corrupted. 
It is not possible to recover from this error.

Please perform manual cleaning according to 
http://nbi.netbeans.org/docs/faq.html#cleaning

thanks,
Dmitry
