| <h2 style="color:#0E1B55"><a name="install_windows"></a>Windows</h2> |
| <p>Following are instructions for installing NetBeans C/C++ Development |
| Pack on the Microsoft Windows platform.</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><b>Before You Start</b></p> |
| <p>The following restrictions apply to the installation on the Microsoft |
| Windows platform:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The installer first extracts the required files to the default temporary |
| directory defined by the <tt>TEMP</tt> |
| environment variable. If the amount of disk space in the temporary directory |
| is less than required, the installation might fail or proceed incorrectly.<br> |
| If you encounter this problem, you can increase the space allocated for the |
| <tt>TEMP</tt> environment variable or specify a different temporary directory |
| that has sufficient space. To specify a temporary directory for the |
| installation, use the following commands from a command window:<br> |
| <br> |
| <tt>> cd <i>location-of-installer</i></tt><br> |
| <tt>> netbeans-cnd-5_5-windows.exe -is:tempdir <i>temporary-directory</i></tt><br> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><b>To Install</b></p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>When you have downloaded the installer file, |
| <tt>netbeans-cnd-5_5-windows.exe</tt>, |
| double-click the installer's icon to launch the installer.</li> |
| <br> |
| <li>At the Welcome page of the installation wizard, click Next.</li> |
| <br> |
| <li>Respond to the license agreement and click Next.</li> |
| <br> |
| <li>At the installation directory page of the installation wizard, |
| accept the NetBeans IDE directory found by the wizard or select a different |
| IDE installation. Click Next.</li> |
| <br> |
| <li>Verify that the installation location is correct and that you have |
| adequate space on your system for the installation.</li> |
| <br> |
| <li>Click Next to begin the installation. </li> |
| <br> |
| <li>When the installation is complete, click Finish to exit the wizard.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="greybox"> <b>Note: </b>If you encounter problems successfully |

| <li><span style="color: #045491;"><b>Installer exceptions when running on JRE 1.4.</b></a></span> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><strong>Description: </strong> On Microsoft Windows, if there is no preinstalled compatible JDK on the target machine, the InstallShield Windows launcher allows you to select a custom <tt>java.exe</tt>. After you select a custom <tt>java.exe</tt> the installer does not perform a validation for compatibility. This means that if you select a <tt>java.exe</tt> from a 1.4 JRE, which is not compatible with the installer, you will encounter a number of exceptions. The issue exists in the InstallShield framework.</p> |
| |
| <p><strong>Workaround: </strong> Select a <tt>java.exe</tt> from a 1.5 JRE. See <a |
| href="cnd-release-notes.html#req_sw" title="Required Software">Required Software</a> for information about downloading and installing a compatible JDK.</p> |

| <li><span style="color: #045491;"><b>Installer fails to start correctly on UNIX.</b></a></span> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><strong>Description: </strong>The installer is known to fail to start up correctly on UNIX when is there is little or no disk space in the root directory of the filesystem. The problem exists in the InstallShield framework. This issue was observed on machines with less than 2.5 MB free in the root of the filesystem.</p> |
| <p><strong>Workaround: </strong> Free up enough disk space in the root of the filesystem and restart the installer.</p> |
