About the Installer Working Directory

The installer stores data about installation sessions in the installer working directory. Examples of this data are the list of components installed on your system, installation log messages, and registry data.

The default location for the installer working directory is %USERPROFILE%.nbi on Windows and ~/.nbi on other platforms. The log subdirectory contains the installation log files.

Cleaning Up After Incomplete Installations

After incomplete or unsuccessful installations, you might need to clean up your system from previous installations.

For Microsoft Windows, Solaris OS, and Linux:

Delete the installer working directory.
Delete the installation directories of the IDE and the GlassFish application server.
On the Windows platform, delete all nbi* registry entries from the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

For Mac OS X:

Drag the program folders or files to the Trash.

The uninstallation may fail if uninstaller.exe do not find the .nbi folder at the home directory.

Home directory:

• Windows : C:\Users\.nbi
• Unix: ~.nbi

When this happens?

1. Unsuccessful installations / uninstallations
2. Installed the netbeans from one user and uninstalling from the different user.

Solution:

1. Problem 1: Follow the answer from "Dual"

2. Problem 2:

   1. Open the home directory of the user who installed it.
   2. Copy ".nbi" folder and ".netbeans-XXXX" to your home directory.
   3. Run the uninstaller once again.

The program should uninstall successfully.
