Description dbramble 2014-10-15 17:31:35 UTC
This is a new issue that I've just encountered after trying to update my IDE.  I'm the admin on the machine with ALL permissions.
Similar open bugs I found are Bug 220850, 202150 and 247637.  The diff. is that I am the Admin and still the problem persists.  What's the work around so I can keep my IDE up to date?
Comment 1 Jiri Skrivanek 2014-10-17 09:05:04 UTC
As stated in hint message please right-click the IDE icon on desktop and choose "Run as administrator". Then update, restart and that's it.

My bad Jiri.  I thought I was running the .exe as an admin but obviously was not.  Your instructions were spot on and the IDE updated fine, thank you.

In Linux (debian wheezy), when I start NetBeans as normal user, 42 updates are found and installation is refused with the above message.
When I start NetBeans using sudo, only one updadate is found. This update installs fine but when I go bacj as normal user I get the 42 updates again.

Reassigned for further evaluation.
