Since this was nagging at me, I uninstalled Netbeans, reverted my change to the JDK, and checked all my environment variables. The Path did not have any quotes around the JDK or JRE bin specs, so I quoted them. (Either AdoptOpenJDK doesn't do that, or Windows intervened to be 'helpful'. It does remove quotes when you edit the path as a list instead of a string.) I also verified that I had a JAVA_HOME variable set, with a quoted path. Running the netbeans installer with the --javahome parameter did work, and once Netbeans was installed it did launch without a hitch.
I don't know what is different this time around, other than having the JAVA_HOME variable set at install time and ensuring that the PATH parts related to java are quoted. Thanks for bearing with me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
