I downloaded and installed the updates and now my IDE doesn't start anymore. It gives me an error.

No problem of AutoUpdate module, the AU cannot guarantee that all downloaded&installed module can work. Some module breaks something fundamental. I assign it to general ide component. umi, as workaround try to start your IDE with fresh userdir (at least try to remove <userdir>/modules directory). Please, could you describe what modules and from where did you install? It helps to investigate what module is broken and report the bug to proper place. Thanks
No info about the broken module for long time, IMHO I can decrease the priority a little bit.
The problem is likely name of home dir - C:\Documents and Settings\M!rc3@ Exclamation mark in URLs will cause troubles resulting in error messages that can be seen. Either this is some pretty strange name or there is localization problem. Can this be a valid name or do create this bad value somewhere in our code?
I have to say that using exclamation mark (!) in my -userdir works fine. On the other hand I didn't update anything from AUC. Anyway, can you please umi try to launch NetBeans using another user directory e.g.: netbeans.exe -userdir C:\abcd
No response for long time, no plan to fix it in the present.
