Urgent help needed problem installing Netbeans?

Question

i have a setup for Netbeans 6.7 with JDK install option
i tried to install it and the installation for netbeans was successful but it said that the installation of JDK was not complete then i tried to run netbeans and a dialog box came up saying

"cannot locate java in (path i specified for the installation of JDK)"

i clicked ok then it ran and while it was loading another dialog box came up with

"Unable to load modules , Disable modules and continue?"

i clicked yes then it opened , i clicked new project and only "JAVA free form" template was available there but i wanna work on JAVA applet or Jframe which was not listed there,
i think this is because of the JDK , is there anything to do with Environment variables or something if this is because of that plz help..

and i have a folder of jdk1.6.0_14 located at
C:/Documents and settings/User abc/Application Data/Java
i copied and pasted it on the location i specified during the installation of JDK along with Netbeans i.e the setup i had but then also nothing happened..


thx in advance

Answer 1

The current version is 7.4. And it's free. Why use a version that old?



1. Uninstall Java.



2. Download the Java SDK from here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html



3. Download Netbeans Java SE from here:

https://netbeans.org/downloads/



4. Now install the Java SDK, then Netbeans.

Answer 2

it's simple...



if you want to use netbeans 6.7 just open you netbeans installation folder then go to /etc/netbeans.conf



edit it using notepad ++ or ordinary notepad



find this line : netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51"

that's mind. you just change the path with your java installation folder.

it will fix your problems
