Selecting the JavaFX scene builder home directory throws following error: "<location> does not represent a valid JavaFX Scene Builder installation." This seems to caused by the names of the subdirectories inside the Scene Builder's root directory; 'app' and 'runtime' (version 1.1 of Scene Builder). When you change the names of those directories to 'bin' and 'lib' respectively, selecting the home directory works (but breaks Scene Builder executable ofcourse). Only 'workaround' is simply using the Scene Builder outside of Netbeans. This was tested using Scene Builder 1.1 and NB 7.2 + 7.3beta.
Fixed after 7.3 Beta1 and backported to 7.2.1 (now available at netbeans.org). Either install 7.2.1 or update your 7.2 (you'll get the same set of patches). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 217691 ***

I *have* tried this with NB 7.3beta (which is fully up to date) which supposedly should work according to bug report 217691 but I still get the same error.

As I wrote, it was fixed *after* 7.3 Beta, so it's not in it. It's going to be in 7.3 final release and a patch was published for 7.2.
Ok, thank you for replying and sorry for my misunderstanding.
I have nb version 7.2.1 installed, and I have the same problem. I downloaded the new scene builder 1.1 (which by the way installs in the Program Files(x86) directory as opposed to the regular Program Files directory), and trying to point nb to the new install fails with the same error message. Please advise.

AFAICT the problem is that SceneBuilder has changed its file structure once again after this issue has been closed here. We have had another issue for that, see Issue #221825. The most recent changes in SceneBuilder (from 9 Nov 2012 !) were introduced in b11 of SB and unfortunately broke NB support on Windows. Our fix has been pushed to NB trunk on 11.11.2012 so it is not present in any official NB release yet, not even in NB 7.3beta2. It is present in the current development build and will be present in NB7.3 final. Question to QA: do we plan to make another 7.2 patch where Issue #221825 fix would make it into ?
(In reply to comment #7) > ... > > Question to QA: do we plan to make another 7.2 patch where Issue #221825 fix > would make it into ? There is no plan for another update/patch release for 7.2. However, we may publish single module patch on UC if the fix is safe. If you want to do so, upgrade spec. version of the module and post it at #221825 and I'll start & handle the process.
OK, to summarize for QA, all recent SB related changesets are these: from Issue #217691 already transplanted to release72 branch: d7347d672cf6 transplanted to 0ed4d796efe4 14ba95014d03 transplanted as 10c229052e1a from Issue #220109 changeset 7d7566d4c709 not yet transplanted to release72 from Issue #221825 changeset 188dd723695a not yet transplanted to release72 so the two changesets 7d7566d4c709 and 188dd723695a need to be transplanted to NB7.2 in order to support the latest SB1.1 builds.

Patch for NB 7.2.x has been published. Follow the automatic notification in the IDE or run "Help | Check for Updates" to get it.
This bug still exists for any user who has downloaded Netbeans 7.4 and attempts to download and install Scenebuilder on a Windows system. An effective change policy is not to close the bug until the user community has stopped reporting it. The workaround is: Netbeans 7.4-->Tools-->Plugins-->Update
Please accept my comments which are given in a spirit of helpfulness: If I am not mistaken, you are reporting by reopening a Duplicate of a version 7.2/7.3 bug which was fixed over a year ago. While it is true that anyone can Reopen a Bug, it is inappropriate to Reopen a Duplicate bug. Instead, please Reopen the Original bug if it is fairly recent, otherwise, my advice is to file a new bug report and mention the old bug in the description or comments. If the anomaly you are commenting on was resolved in a NB 7.4 patch, updating to the patch is not a workaround, rather it is the fix. Please don't Reopen bugs where the fix works. It is not policy for a NetBeans bug to be kept open after it has been Resolved and Verified in accordance with http://wiki.netbeans.org/IssueLifeCycle You may also want to see Bug 238520 if you have difficulty with Scene Builder 2.0. Hope this helps... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 221825 ***
