I was having some issues with 8.2 and was advised to switch to 11.0. Yesterday I did, and everything works fine with my rather large & complex Java Windows app project. Only problem is there’s no installer for 11.0. You have to download the binary zip file and unzip it to C:\Program Files. You can manually pin netbeans64.exe or netbeans.exe to Start, and rename the folder to NetBeans 11.0. When you first run 11.0 it will ask you if you want to transfer the settings used in your earlier version (which it detects automatically) to 11.0 Say Yes.
And, yes, it can coexist with you present version. I now have 8.1, 8.2, and 11.0 on my machine.

Hello, I'm using Netbeans 8.0 for windows 10. I get a message that there are "50 updates found". When I click "click here to make your IDE up to date" another window opens up with all the plugins that will be updated. I click "next", but then I get an error. Specifically, the window says: Error There were some problems when storing the selected plugins Netbeans8.0/enterprise/update/download-in-progress-.../org-netbeans-modules-web-core-syntax.nbm (The system cannot find the file specified) Are there any tips for how I might fix this issue? Is it recommended to just download the newest version of Netbeans (Netbeans 11.0) and uninstall the old one (Netbeans 8.0)? Is there any way to upgrade to Netbeans 11.0 without uninstalling the old one? Thank you.
