Trying to install via netbeans-6.7.1-ml-javase-windows.exe but installer hangs at 0%. C:\Documents and Settings\Pete>java -version java version "1.6.0_15" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)
Please run installer with "--verbose --output out.txt" arguments and attach out.txt file to this issue. It can be also helpful if you additionally run installer in the following manner (from command-line) cd <dir-with-installer> netbeans-6.7.1-ml-javase-windows.exe --extract java -jar bundle.jar > out2.txt 2>&1 After it hangs, please press "Ctrl-Break" in the console a few times, then Ctrl-C. Please attach out2.txt as well. Please also attach the screenshot of hanging.

Created attachment 86638 [details] output when using --verbose --output out.txt
Using the extract method is a successful workaround. I will next attach out2.txt from that installation.
Created attachment 86641 [details] output when using --extract and then running bundle.jar
That could be related to WE4Java Screen Reader. I`m not quite sure whether it is suitable to ask that but could you please turn it temporary off and try run installer again? PS. Is that the right version that you use? https://www.gwmicro.com/Script_Central/Scripts/Script_Details/?scriptid=1222
That was it. I commented out that line in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\accessibility.properties and the problem went away. # # Load the Java support for WE4Java into the JVM # #assistive_technologies=com.jmacarty.we4java.WE4JavaScreenReader screen_magnifier_present=true If you want to contact Jay he is Jay.Macarty at pbsg dot com
