When running the windows installation prgram for Netbeans IDE (encountered in 3.5 rc1, rc2 and rc3) if the option to upgrade an existing installation is not selected the installer will hang. The hang occurs after when the next button is selected from the select a directory wizard panel. The cpu on flat lines at 100% utilization while the hang is happening, I have left the machine run (1ghz P3 1gb ram) for over 20 minutes without seeing the installer recover and move on to the next step. I have encountered this behavior on 2 different machines. Selecting an exisitng, older installation to upgrade from works.
Hi, do you see upgrade option in installer of 3.5rc or you mean import from previous version?
If you have more than one jdk installed, please try to use each of them if the beahvior is the same. You can choose which one of jdks to use by is:javahome your_jdk_home_dir. E.g. NetBeans....exe -is:javahome c:\j2sdk1.3.1 Also one of users outside found out that this behavior is caused by not sufficient permissions, so try to change them, please, it might help.Thanks. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 30767 ***
