I am sorry, I am not able to reproduce this issue. Are you still able to reproduce it? It seems that NetBeans is not able to determine the default browser from Windows registry. It attempts to find the value of .html node under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (for example, ChromeHTML) and then this value (ChromeHTML in my case) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (which holds the command to open the browser).
