Description m_sessa 2015-09-12 22:56:00 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.1 Beta (Build 201508041349)
Operating System = Windows 8 version 6.2 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_51
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.51-b03

In a c/c++ project, if I set the console type to "External Terminal", running the project produces the error: "Unable to find any valid shell. It is needed for execution in the external terminal. Will start in OutputWindow".
I did the exact same steps in Netbeans 8.0.1 and everythin worked without issue.

probably it is a duplicate of the bug #255936
