Lukas,

Have you changed locale after the installation of one of the previous builds?

Comment 3 Lukas Hasik 2007-07-30 12:52:58 UTC 
I had installed all the "previous" builds in EN locale. Then I switched to JA locale and wanted to install a newer
build. And it failed with the NPE.
I'm installing the netbeans-6.0-nightly-200707270000-standard-windows.exe in EN locale today. It works fine.
Comment 4 dlipin 2007-07-30 13:22:02 UTC 
Lukas, 

thanks for information.

The issue is that we store properties defined by property name + platform name + locale name. (e.g. 
installation.location.windows-x86.ru_RU).

We need to revise this strategy.

Comment 5 Lukas Hasik 2007-07-30 13:39:02 UTC 
Dmitri, IMO, this is a corner case. Anyway, it is still a usecase. I think that it could be solved. You can just ignore
the "unreadable" properties file and behave like it is a first installation.

The worst thing is that it fails.

NPE is no more thrown. But the other problem still exists - the warning message that says that it was not possible to 
get the installation location is shown.

I removed i18n summary and keywd - I saw the word locales in summary and thought it was related to i18n.

Comment 11 dlipin 2008-03-19 12:52:25 UTC 
Most of the issue is now fixed (jvm arch and locale changes are fixed, platform changes very rarely so it is not a 
common usecase).
