JDK was not found on the computer for NetBeans 6.5
I got the following message when I open the NetBeans. I have got the JDK installed, and set the bin directory in the environment. What I could do next to avoid this problem? Btw, I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Do the following steps to resolve the problem
Ensure that the JDK is already installed.
If the installer is on a CD, Copy the EXE file for the Netbeans 6.5.1 installer onto your hard disk.
Note the location of the installer.
Open a Command Prompt running as administrator: Go to Start button > All Programs > Accessories Right click Command Prompt Select Run as administrator
In the Command Prompt use the cd command to change to the directory containing the installer.
-
Execute the following command to extract the contents of the installer: [Note: You might need to change the name of the installer to match the one you have.]
netbeans-6.5.1-ml-java-windows.exe --extract
-
Execute the following command to manually execute the installer:
java -jar bundle.jar
You will see rapid scrolling output in the Command Prompt window for a few moments, then the installer window will appear to begin the installation process.
I use the following steps to solve the problem:
First, Make sure
“Run this program in compatibality mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)” and “Run this program as an administrator” are ENABLED.
Run in Command Prompt
C:\Users\{yourusernamehere}\Documents\Downloads\netbeans-6.5-ml-windows.exe –-javahome "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18"
