Created attachment 158623 [details] IDE log
8th step should read "Leave all other fields at their defaults"
What value is in "Project Folder" field after selecting the project location?
I have tried many different ways: 1) Leave the defaults: 1.a) Project Name: JavaApplication1 1.b) Project Location: /Users/george/NetBeansProjects 1.c) Project Folder: /Users/george/NetBeansProjects/JavaApplication1 2) Change the Project Name: 2.a) Project Name: HelloWorld 2.b) Project Location: /Users/george/NetBeansProjects 2.c) Project Folder: /Users/george/NetBeansProjects/HellowWorld 3) Change the Project Location: 3.a) Project Name: JavaApplication1 3.b) Project Location: /Users/george/Desktop 3.c) Project Folder: /Users/george/Desktop/JavaApplication1 4) Change the Project Name and Location: 4.a) Project Name: HelloWorld 4.b) Project Location: /Users/george/Desktop 4.c) Project Folder: /Users/george/Desktop/HelloWorld With all of these options, I am leaving the "Use Dedicated Folder for Storing Libraries" check box off and the "Create Main Class" check box on. I receive the same error every time I click the "Finish" button: "Project Folder already exists and is not empty." This is a brand new install of NetBeans 8.1 on a 2 month old install of El Capitan that has been updated with all of the Apple OS X updates to 10.11.3.
It look like your installation is broken. according to the log several files are missing. One of them is scheme for project.xml so I guess the IDE does not understand project structure now. Can you please try reinstall Netbeans?
