When installing 3.4.1 on W2000 from the full windows installer .exe without having a previous version of Netbeans installed I only get to choosing a location for the installation. I go with the default and click next and the installer then hangs and uses 97-100% CPU. I have tried with an alternative location also. I rebooted and tried again but the same thing happens.
I was having the exact same issue on Windows2000 SP3 running JDK 1.4.0 until I updated my JDK to 1.4.0_03.
Signig as WONTFIX because of the comment above.
