NetBeans installer Not locating Java properly
java, netbeans
Solution
The exe seems to be a wrapper for a jar installer. you can extract the jar installer and run that.
.\netbeans-8.2-javase-windows.exe --extract netbeans
java -jar netbeans\bundle.jar
'netbeans' in the above is the name of the folder you want the bundle.jar extracted to it could be anything.
I had a similar error message and couldn't get it to work with the --javahome option but running the jar worked fine.
Problem
I'm trying to install the NetBeans "all" package, and, I'm pretty sure I already have Java SE Development Kit installed, however, it's not locating it properly, it comes with an error. ``` Java SE Development Kit (JDK) was not found on this computer ``` So I ran the CMD and typed: ``` netbeans-7.1.3-windows.exe --javahome "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25" ``` As I checked, I was in the right directory (E:\Mark\Downloads) where the setup file of netbeans is supposed to be. After pressing ENTER, it did locate JDK, however it would not locate JRE and came up with this error. ``` Java Runtime Environment (JRE) was not found There is no JRE at the specified location C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25 ``` So I tried installing the JDK+NetBeans Bundle by Oracle [x86 (32-bit) for Windows (I'm running a 32-bit Windows XP SP3 so it should have worked)] but it says that it's not compatible with my current platform. I also tried --jdkhome but it didn't seem to work at all. Please, this has been going on for two days.
