Description Xypron 2014-11-21 14:02:04 UTC
Dear maintainer,

I try to upgrade plugins. I get an error message:

"You don't have permission to install plugin Module Build Harness into the installation directory.

To perform installation into the installation directory, you should run the application as a user with administrative privilege, i.e. Run as administrator on Windows platform or run as sudo command on Unix-like systems."

Plugins should install in
C:\Users\user\appdata\Roaming\NetBeans\8.0\modules

Plugin installation should never require administrative privileges.

Best regards

Heinrich Schuchardt
