Description djhunt 2006-05-11 20:12:30 UTC

I tried to install Netbeans 5.0, Netbeans 5.0 + AS, Netbeans 5.5 preview.  All 
failed (by just "going away") after I clicked Next on the wizard page 
verifying the location to install.  Even getting and extracting the ZIP bundle 
didn't work: it started, showing "loading modules" and then went away.  
Various logs showed "nullPointerExceptions".

My Windows XP user account folder name was "David Hunt". I solved this by 
creating a new user account named "David".  Everything now installs and works 
fine.  I suspect the space in my user account folder name is the culprit.

Please can you attach IDE log to see exceptions?

I just tried to create user account with space in name and both installer and
IDE works fine. I suspect it is rather duplicate of issue #64380. To confirm
that change your desktop theme to default theme. See issue #64380 for more
details. If you attach IDE log file here I can see if it is the same issue or
not. You can also get more detail output from installer using-is:extract command
line option. It will extract setup.jar from installer exe file. Then run java
-Dis.debug=1
-Dtemp.dir=<Path to any existing dir with r/w access> -jar setup.jar.
