This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a project which builds a target of "test.exe" 2. Navigate to the directory where test.exe is built 3. Create a "test" directory Try to run the project and it fails. It tries to start "test" not "test.exe" as it should. Since this is the name of a directory it fails to start the executable.
