Hi Andre!

The easiest way how to solve this problem is not to use an installer but
platform independent zip - I personally preffer this solution. You just
unzip the netbeans folder to some destination. It is 99% equivalent to
installation (installer just creates a shortcuts in your menus and on
the desktop, also an uninstaller reference... it does not do anything
special for you...). You can download platform independent zip from the
download page - just use the combobox in upper right corner.

You can also safely run the installer if you know that another installer
instance is not running (=click "YES" in the dialog). The problem can be
probably solved by removing some file in your userdir (~/.netbeans or
C:/Documents and Settings/<user>/.netbeans), but when no other NB
installers are running, it can be just ignored...

With regards,

Petr Dvorak
