The netbeans.exe and netbeans64.exe are not able to use any environment variable between ${ and } such as ${JAVA_HOME}, which makes it difficult to install an application which simply depends on a few environment variables to be set. You'll get launcher errors if you try to use ${JAVA_HOME} on windows. Would be very handy to have.
