[Ashenvale]

hi,
I installed NetBeans IDE 7.0 but when I tried run it this message keeps on appearing"see no.1."
I tried to uninstall it but an error message also pops-up "no. 2". I tried changing the conf. but it keeps on saying access denied.

please guys I need your help >.<

Is the path shown in the error message correct? Is that where the JDK is installed?

[Ashenvale]

yes it's the correct path .

[jbennet]

Are the correct JAVA_HOME environment variables set?
Check under system.

[Ashenvale]

what specifclly should I look for in the environment variables? how do I know if it is correct?

[jbennet]

Find "JAVA_HOME" and see if it set to the path to the JDK.

[Ashenvale]

C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip ?

[jbennet]

Well that's wrong, for starters....

[Ashenvale]

I checked the path, and inside jre6 there is no lib in it. The only thing i found is
bin, core, patchjre and zipper

[Ashenvale]

so what should I look for?

[jbennet]

Set it to the right path.... it should be the folder to which you installed the JDK.

[Ashenvale]

@_@ I can't find the path for JAVA_HOME. I didn't find it under system

To see what environment variables are currently set, open a command prompt window and enter: set
Here is what I see on my system:

also you can see what Java Home variables your PC has and which are default and also add variables by going Start->Control Panel->Programs-Java. In the box it brings up goto Java tab and select 'view'. This is tested on windows 7. or try: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Setting+the+JAVA_HOME+Variable+in+Windows

i tried doing what was in this
link
but end up with the same error.

Windows 7

This is what I got after typing set.

This is from netbeans.conf

• ${HOME} will be replaced by JVM user.home system property
  netbeans_default_userdir="${HOME}/.netbeans/7.0"

• Options used by NetBeans launcher by default, can be overridden by explicit

• command line switches:
  netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=384m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true"
• Note that a default -Xmx is selected for you automatically.
• You can find this value in var/log/messages.log file in your userdir.
• The automatically selected value can be overridden by specifying -J-Xmx here

• or on the command line.

• If you specify the heap size (-Xmx) explicitly, you may also want to enable

• Concurrent Mark & Sweep garbage collector. In such case add the following
• options to the netbeans_default_options:
• -J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled

• (see http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqGCPauses)

• Default location of JDK, can be overridden by using --jdkhome <dir>:

netbeans_jdkhome="G:\JAVA\jdk1.6.0_26"

• Additional module clusters, using ${path.separator} (';' on Windows or ':' on Unix):
  *netbeans_extraclusters="/absolute/path/to/cluster1:/absolute/path/to/cluster2"

• If you have some problems with detect of proxy settings, you may want to enable

• detect the proxy settings provided by JDK5 or higher.
• In such case add -J-Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true to the netbeans_default_options.

I don't have a partition named G:\
