Description LarryDaniel 2017-10-02 20:18:02 UTC 
the installer quits with the warning that the jdk is not installed.  JDK 9 is installed but the installer doesn't see it. Even using the -javahome argument fails to detect the jdk.

So I see I'm not the only one with this problem, but no one has really given a detailed explanation. Please reference the attachments I've made. I'm doing a fresh install on a fresh machine. Never had NetBeans or any Java development tools or environments on this machine. I downloaded the JDK9 and the NetBeans 8.2 files from the Oracle site. JDK 9 seems to be installed correctly but NetBeans will not find the JDK. I even tried a second solution which was defining the variable for JAVA_HOME in the environment variables then adding %JAVA_HOME%\bin to the path set. Still no go. Help please! I'm trying to get a project going for my work.

Thanks!

Hammertime.

Ok, nevermind. I now actually read the bottom of the download page. I apologize.

I'm a dumb ass. lol.

Thanks!
