OS X 10.10.3 JDK 8 v45 NetBeans 8.0.2 .pkg (full install ~250MB) I tried to deploy NetBeans package via munki (https://github.com/munki). Munki can install packages when OS X is at loginwindow and no user is logged in. Unfortunately installation of NetBeans package gets stuck at "running package scripts". I am able to replicate this by logging in via SSH (no user logged in) and running command: sudo installer -package "NetBeans 8.0.2.pkg" -target / Installer gets stuck at "Running package scripts". Latest nightly build has same problem. I suspect this may me connected to postinstall scripts launching GUI apps. However I was able to deploy NetBeans 8.0.2 with OS X 10.9.5 and JDK 7 without encountering this problem. Conclusion: I would greatly apreciate if NetBeans installer package would be deployable when no user is logged in (= system in at loginwindow). This would save me (and probably other Mac sysadmins) a lot of time. Without solving this from your end I would have to repackage whole thing and get rid off commands in scripts which cause this (<- and possibly breaking something else by doing that).
Could you please provide installer log?

(In reply to Libor Fischmeistr from comment #1) > Could you please provide installer log? Thank you for response. I added two attachments. installer.log is output of installer process (run via ssh) with -verbose and -dumplog flags install.log is relevant part of /var/log/install.log Observation: After last message in /var/log/install.log installer is still outputing "installer: Running package scripts…....." in infinite loop.
I can confirm this problem with version 9.1 package. Last messages in /var/log/install.log when hang occurs during loginwindow installation.

Sorry. I meant version 8.1.
Bump. Having the same issue while attempting to deploy NetBeans to multiple computer labs. As a suggestion as a possible alternative solution, perhaps there can be a release of NetBeans that is a complete offline installer that does not require pulling updates as part of the postinstall.
Problem still exists in 8.2
After tracing through some things, I believe was able to determine the command that is failing /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_111.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

org.netbeans.Main --cachedir /tmp/tmpnb/var/cache --userdir /tmp/tmpnb --branding nb --nosplash --modules --update-all Running this command results in the output: Updates not found. updates=0 So, the command above is launched in /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans 8.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/platform/lib/nbexec on line 466. On line 470 there is a `wait $PID` command that is waiting for the command above, but the command above appears to never properly exit, so the scrip sits there and spins on `wait`. The part I'm confused about is that on line 469 there is a `trap "kill $PID" EXIT` command. So which is it? Should we be waiting for the command to complete, or should we let `nbexec` exit and force kill the java process launched with the command above? So yeah, I'm in the weeds, and probably way off base, but I figured I'd start poking around at what was stalling, and this is where I ended up. Hope it helps someone? I'll continue to poke tomorrow...
