I am able to launch the installer of Netbeans 4.1 but, when i am at the page before any files are installed into the folder, the installation quits! if i press the "next" button. Now there are no files in my folder! What the hell can i do now?
Please first check if your installer is not corrupted. There is md5sum on download page.
Please provide more info. What installer did you try to run? NB IDE standalone? NB + AS bundle? Also please check you have enough disk space on the drives where you're trying to install to and where your system saves temporary files.
i used the NB Ide standalone & NB + AS, i also tried the latest version 1.5 20.09.2005 but it dosen't work either i got 5 GB free on my C: drive ^^ and temporary files are stored on C:/temp ^^ i installed jdk1.5.0_04 and the jre1.5.0_04. i got a win XP PC with service pack 2 , and the md5 sum is correct !
Is there file install.log in $NBINSTDIR/_uninst dir? If yes please attach it here.
i just got a netbeans install dir, but there isnt any other folder in it, as i said before my installation aborts when i see the summary where it will be installed. the whole window just closes.
There is another way: Start installer from console with -is:log <Log file name> eg. -is:log a.log. It will create log file from native launcher. In this logfile you will find location of setup.jar. Copy this setup.jar file somewhere. Then you can Cancel running installer. Now start from console: java -jar setup.jar. This will start installer and log installer output to console. By this way you could get more info. (Increase console buffer size.) Copy log from console to file and attach it here.

I checked JDK sources. It looks something is broken. (Dimension instance passed to Dimension constructor in provided call stack is probably retrieved as property in com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsProgressBarUI.getPreferredInnerHorizontal() from XPStyle.) Do you use some customized theme? Could you try to use default theme? Or Windows Classic theme?
Well it worked, i used the classic theme --- and the installation completed Thx alot ;)
As it looks like Swing bug I would like to reproduce it somehow and file it against JDK. Is there any way how to modify default XP theme to get this problem? Or could you send me your custom theme? (Theme can be saved to file.) Thanks.
*** Issue 61555 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
For this I already filed issue against Swing http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6337517. Workaround is to switch to default desktop theme. Closing this as WONTFIX.
Closing
Please could you send me additional info I asked for last time? As it is not in this issue description I repeat it here: Do you use any tool to customize your "visual style" or "skin"? Or do you use any custom skin? (Even if your theme file points to default msstyle file: Path=%WinDir%Resources\themes\Luna\Luna.msstyles.) The question is this if your default "skin" was modified anyhow.) "The company TGTSoft makes a tool called StyleXP which can be used to apply a different visual style on Windows XP. They also make StyleBuilder which allows you to create and edit visual styles and save them to a .msstyles file which can then be included in a theme. Judging from the bug description, the user might be running with a custom visual style. It could be one downloaded from www.themexp.org or one they made themselves. What is the name of the theme file?" Are you still able to reproduce problem with your original desktop theme? Thanks
Well i dont know which style it was cause i deleted it some years ago. and i just remeber having one of these themes from www.themexp.org. i didn't use any extra tool just copied the themes and locked up windows to use them.
