I did as you suggested and unzipped the ZIP file. I get the same error:
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module jdk.jshell not found
I have never heard of jshell before, but when I'm in the netbeans\bin
directory I can run it, so it's clearly present in the system.
It just isn't found by netbeans64.exe.

Nothing needs to be moved or separated when you use the installer. I’d
recommend you start from scratch with 11.1, if you’re having problems with
the installer, unzip the ZIP file instead.
