Netbeans won't install on Windows 10

Question

I'm trying to install Netbeans 8.2 Java EE, but whenever I start the installer it quits after configuring it. I am trying to install it on Windows 10 64-bit.

Accepted Answer

This is not going to make sense at all, but do you happen to have the "God Mode" item on your desktop? Take it off the desktop (delete it, move it somewhere else, whatever). I have no idea why, but it worked for me: I found the solution in this bug report - https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269988

I do hope this helps you, too.
