Description bhari 2007-10-07 08:23:18 UTC 
I had installed the netbeans 5.5 with the bundled Sun App server PE9. It was working fine for sometime.
But once when I tried to launch the IDE, I got a null poiter exception[this happened after I installed the apache-
tomcat server. not sure if this broke the netbeans].
I then uninstalled the netbeans and tried to install it again but the install fails without any message/error.
It just creates the netbeans5.5 and the sun/Appserver folders in my Program files.
Comment 1 mslama 2007-10-08 11:17:57 UTC 
So I assume there is no log file. Please try to run installer with command line option -is:javaconsole. It will open
separate window. You will be able to copy/paste its content before you exit installer. If installer crashes (so you are
not able to copy/paste content of console window) try to run installer with command line option -is:log <Log file> eg.
-is:log a.log. It will create log file. Attach result here so I can check it content. It might contain some error
message or exception. (As you was able to install it before with the same installer file I assume your installer is
correct ie. not corrupted. In case you have new download you check MD5 checksum to make sure it is not corrupted.
Reference MD5 checksum is on download page. If you are not able to find it let me know I will find it and give it here.)
Comment 2 bhari 2007-10-08 17:11:54 UTC 
Thanks for the reply...but I couldnt use it well as Im not used to the MSDOS commands....blindly tried the command -
is:javaconsole on my command window..and got the error.."The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is 
incorrect."
FYI..im using the same installer that had worked for me earlier.
please help...
Comment 3 mslama 2007-10-09 07:33:09 UTC 
You must start console window (Go to Start -> Run and write cmd). It will open console (MSDOS) window. Go to directory
where installer is located using 'cd' command. Then write installer name and append command line parameters. (Console
window on Win XP has autocompletion so you need not write whole exe name just write first few letters and then press
TAB. It should complete name. If there is more similar possibilities press TAB again it will iterate over.)

there are more logging before this showing that no java.exe was found in other locations. So i have ignored them.

One more note:Whenever the installer is going to fail I get a sort of hint by looking at the radio buttons provided to 
accept/decline the licence, wherein if there is no round mark[which shows if that option is checked or not] that is 
usually found before the option to select, then the installer will fail.

bhari,

this is the JDK issue:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6337517

It is fixed in jdk1.5.0_08 and you are running jdk1.5.0_06..
Installer the latest JDK5 U13 or JDK6 U3 and try again.

It is known issue with Swing and some Win desktop themes returning unexpected value for some property. Fix is to get
latest JDK update (for JDK 5 it is u13 and for JDK 6 it is u3).
Comment 7 bhari 2007-10-10 02:59:14 UTC 
Thnx for the sugestion. Will try to get the updated jdk...but was curious to know how I was able to work with the same 
jdk earlier..
will keep the issue open till I get the new jdk and try to install netbeans again....
Comment 8 mslama 2007-10-10 06:41:53 UTC 
Somehow your current desktop theme was changed so it stopped to return expected value to Swing. We do not have any steps
how to reproduce it ie. how to modify default desktop theme to reproduce this behavior. We just know this problem was
reported many times so we passed this to Swing and it is fixed now in JDK.
