| <ol> |
| <li>Once you have downloaded the installer file, double-click the installer's |

| <li>Specify an empty directory within which to install NetBeans IDE. |
| <p><b>Note:</b> This NetBeans IDE will not disrupt the |

| <ol> |
| <li>Navigate to the directory that contains the installer.</li><br> |
| <li>If necessary, change the installer file's permissions to make the binary |

| <li>Execute the appropriate launcher for your system. </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>The following launchers are included in the archive distributions: </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><tt>netbeans.exe</tt> - Windows</li> |
| <li><tt>nb.exe</tt> - Windows (from within a console window)</li> |
| <li><tt>netbeans</tt> - UNIX, Linux </li> |

| <blockquote> |
| <p><b>Description:</b></p> |
| <p>The installer for the NetBeans IDE and Sun Java System Application |
| Server bundle does not let you install on JDK 6.0, because Sun Java |
| System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 has several serious |
| issues on pre-release versions of JDK 6.0. However, you can install |
| the NetBeans IDE standalone installer on JDK 6.0. |

| <p>After specifying the location of the Sun Java System Application |
| Server and clicking Next, the wizard page becomes blank, and it is impossible to |

| <p><b>Workaround:</b></p> |
| <p>In the wizard, press Cancel. On your system, navigate to |
| the NetBeans IDE installation directory that installer has just created and |
| delete that directory. Then run the installer again and specify a location for the |
| application server installation directory that is not inside of the NetBeans IDE |

| <li><a href="https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52856">Issue #52856 (Windows XP only) </a> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><b>Description:</b></p> |
| <p>Sun Java System Application Server installation fails. Note that |
| this problem has been known to occur both when using the NetBeans IDE 5.5 |
| and Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 Bundle |
| installer as well as the stand-alone Application Server installer. |
| This happens when a previous installation of the Application Server has failed and |
| subsequent attempts at uninstallation were also unsuccessful (i.e. some |
| registry entries or configuration files weren't deleted). |
| <p><b>Workaround:</b></p> |
| <p>If this happens, remove all previous installations of the Sun Java |
| System Application Server. Then delete the installer's <code><USERHOME>\Local |
| Settings\temp\</code> directory and the Application Server's <code><userhome>\Application |
| Data\Sun\tmp\</code> directory (note that files may also be located in <code><WINDIR>\Sun\</code>). |
| If a previous uninstallation attempt of the Application Server was |
| unsuccessful, also delete the <code><SYSTEMDIR>/productregistry</code> file. |
| Next, create a new directory within which to install the software |
| and ensure that the directory is empty and writable. Finally, reinstall |
| the Application Server in the new location on your system. <!--<b>Note: </b>in |
| general, it is recommended that users use the provided uninstaller |
| to remove Application Server installations. |

| <blockquote> |
| <p><b>Description:</b></p> |
| <p>Unable to install NetBeans on some Mandrake/Mandriva Linux distributions. |
| During initialization, the installer displays the following message: |
| <blockquote> |
| <pre>Initializing InstallShield Wizard........<br>./netbeans-5_0-bin-linux.bin: line 189: bc: command not found<br>./netbeans-5_0-bin-linux.bin: line 404: [: : integer expression expected </pre> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p><b>Workaround:</b></p> |
| <p>NetBeans installer uses GNU's bc utility, which doesn't seem to install |
| by default in Mandriva. If you experience this problem, install GNU's |
| bc utility manually prior to installing NetBeans. If you have an active |
| Internet connection, you can run <tt>urpmi bc</tt> from the command |
| line to accomplish this. Note that it is also possible to download |
| the appropriate RPM and install using the <tt>rpm -i |
| <bc_package>.rpm</tt> command.</p> |

| <blockquote> |
| <p><b>Description:</b></p> |
| <p>After starting the installer, you get a message that says "Welcome |
| to the Install Wizard for ERROR: null". This could be caused by running |
| multiple installers simultaneously or by running the installer after another |
| installer that has failed to exit.</p> |
| <p><b>Workaround:</b></p> |
| <p>Delete the contents of the <tt>\InstallShield\Universal\Common</tt> directory |
| and then restart the installer.</p> |
| <p>On Windows systems, this directory is located at <tt>C:\Program Files\Common files\InstallShield\Universal\Common</tt>.</p> |
| <p>On Solaris and Linux systems, this directory is located at |

| <blockquote> |
| <p><b>Description:</b></p> |
| <p>For systems set to use the Turkish locale, the installer does not successfully |
| finish.</p> |
| <p><b>Workaround:</b></p> |
| <p>Cancel the installer. On your system, switch to the English (United States) locale and then |
| retstart the installer. </p> |
| <p>On Windows XP systems, you can switch locales on your system by choosing Start | Control Panel |
| and double-clicking Regional and Language Options. Then select the locale from the |
| drop-down list in the Standards and Formats section of the dialog box.</p> |
