When running netbeans-5_5-windows.exe, downloaded from netbeans.org, I get as far as determining the installtion directory, and endless loop from there. "\netbeans-5.5" - Error: \netbeans5.5 is not writable. "C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5" - Error: C:\Program Files\netbeans5.5 is not writable. "C:\Program Files\netbeans" - ... is not writable. All of these directories are visible in Windows Explorer, so the installer created them. All of them have a dimmed out check in the "Read only" attribute checkbox. Unchecking the attribute and reattempting also fails. (Side note for NB5.5.1, I suppose: C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.6.0\bin\ doesn't get searhed by the installer, and has to be found manually. This is probably just a case of adding 1.6.0 to the search list...) Thanks!
JDK 6 is searched. Please first make sure installer is not corrupted. Check MD5 checksum available on download page.
v Checksum from download page: cfb11048a49999b9b01af4198e2b7dd1 CFB11048A49999B9B01AF4198E2B7DD1 ^ Local checksum No difference that I can see.
Also occurs with netbeans-5_5_1-beta-windows.exe. v 5.5.1 checksum from netbeans website. 93613769bfef01e08d93ae7d961bfa2f 93613769BFEF01E08D93AE7D961BFA2F ^ Local checksum. Also,in this case I tried C:\Program Files\netbeans\5.5.1 and got the dimmed check in the Read Only attribute at each level of the tree.
dafydd, Just to confirm : are you installing as the administrator or somehow limited user?
Run installer with -is:javaconsole. Then attach resulting log output here. I will check if there is any info about this problem.
dlipin: At the time I first saw this, I was the Administrator group for the network, but not in the Administrator group for my desktop. Now that I'm also the local Administrator, I have retested with the same results. mslama: Attachment follows.
Created attachment 40515 [details] console output from installation .exe file with mslama's suggested option
dlipin: To be more specific, I have never tried this install while logged in as "Administrator." My first passes were logged in as me. At that time, I was in the Administrator group for my domain, but not for the specific system I'm using. I am now in the Administrator group, as me, for my local system. Under these conditions, I still get the errors.
From log problem is clear: InstallShield based installer does not run on 64bit JDK. You must use 32bit JDK to run installer. Sorry for late response. For NB 6.0 we use different installer engine => this problem doe snot happen anymore.

The best way is not to use installer but only zip distribution. I am sorry netbeans5.5 installer is so old that it is not supported anymore. IIRC it was last version which used InstallShield as installer platform.
Marek, thanks for the comment! Closing again as fixed in later NetBeans. 5.5 is obsolete.
