OS: Windows 6.2 aka "8" %userprofile% points to a remote directory (on fileserver) run NB installer enter all directories (use defaults on local drive) on last page (JUnit will be installed..), the current nightly build alerts something like "64.4 MByte needed on \\fileserver\" and the next button is disabled. Thus, no install is possible. (this is the server %userprofile% points to) It seems, this message will be displayed regardless the available space (in my case > 30 GB).

Same problem happened using Windows 6.1 "7" I'm downloading next nightly build to check again. (No problem with 7.3)
Same problem with current netbeans-trunk-nightly-201306052301-javaee-windows I double-checked with an older version(netbeans-trunk-nightly-201302122300-javaee-windows): no such problem.
Hello, the installer log would be great. http://wiki.netbeans.org/NBIFAQ#What_information_is_needed_for_a_successful_bug_report.
If there would be any log file, I'd provided them. Cannot find any .nbi dir nor a log :( But I do not have any chance to install (with the installer version). Thus doN#t close as incomplete!!!
Hm, thinking about the missing log file: It seems NBI (in current version) cannot access a remote %userprofile% at all.
(In reply to comment #6) > Hm, thinking about the missing log file: > It seems NBI (in current version) cannot access a remote %userprofile% at all. Can you please run the installer from command line with the following parameters? --verbose --output localpathtologfile

netbeans-trunk-nightly-201306102301-javaee-windows.exe still faces the same problem
Can I ask you to describe how to point userprofile to a remote directory?
1. open active directory user and computer 2. choose your domain, your organisation, user folder 3. right click on user of your choice 4. select properties 5. select tab profile 6. enter profile path, e.g. \\fileserver\profile$\mullermi where \\fileserver is the server, \profile$ is the share ($ indicates a system or hidden share) \muellermi is the user Hopefully everything is right. Otherwise i have to wait for the admin back from vacation... As I stated before, there is no such problem with an older version of the NB installer, e.g. 7.3
Re-thinking about this problem: - log in as windows user - start installation --> windows asks for administrative user --> installation starts - enter some directory info during installation process --> NBI reports insufficient disk space NBI reports insufficient disk space for standard user! But during installation NBI switches to admin user. This user has no access to user profiles. If my thoughts are right, it must be possible to install when I log in as administrative user. I'm going to check this. On the other hand, it must be a problem to install, even if the user uses a local profile (not a server [remote] profile). But at home, I could install. (local profile, standard user)
My thoughts had been right: No problem to install if loged in as administrative user. This is the matrix of success: local server profile profile standard user ok (1) no install admin user ok ok (1) I'm going to double-check. Might take some days.
I wanted to create a new project with the fresh installation. Usually, I use a folder on drive d:. But, creating a new project for the first time with this version, it points to the default location, which seems to be "%homepath%\my documents\NetBeansProjects". In my case, this is stored on a server, too. It points to \\Fileserver1\User$\muellermi\Eigene Dateien\NetBeansProjects. NB alerts "Project Folder cannot be located on UNC path." - Might this be related to the installer problem? - Why can it not be located on a valid UNC path? (I think, I'l file another issue)
I just downloaded the final version 7.3.1. Unlike the current dev version, there is no such problem. I'm happy with that version. Please compare NBI 7.3.1 final (ok) to NBI 7.3.1 ["7.4"] build 201306112301 (buggy). Thanks!
See issue 221112, maven repo problem. It seems to have the same cause. There must be a library for unc path in the dev version, which has been changed some days or weeks ago.
Thank you very much for all info. Yesterday I was trying to reproduce by setting up the userprofile to remote loaction. I was unsuccessful with it but then I tried to reproduce it a little bit differently. I mapped the network disk and then I tried to install NB on it. I got the same message. Now I'm going to debug it an we will see.
Glad to hear, you could reproduce it. BTW, I made a typo See issue 221112, maven repo problem. This is the correct one See issue 231112, maven repo problem.
