Customized Installation

If you use the "Web & JAVA ee" or "all" Download option, you can explicitly select the tool and runtime environment to be installed during installation.

For the "Web & JAVA ee" Download option, you can select the server to use on the welcome page.

For the "all" Download option, you need to click "Custom" on the welcome page to select the feature to use. For more information, see install software.

To add features to the netbeans ide configuration, use the netbeans plug-in manager. For example, assume that you have downloaded and installed the ruby pack. Then, you decide to try the C/C ++ function. To perform this operation, go from the IDE to the netbeans plug-in Manager (select "tool"> "plug-in"), and then add the C/C ++ pack to the existing installation.

The following are important instructions for installing and configuring some netbeans IDE features:

1. Although Apache Tomcat 6.0.14 is included in the "Web & JAVA ee" and "all" download options, Apache Tomcat 6.0.14 is installed by default only in the "Web & JAVA ee" option. To install Apache Tomcat through the "all" Download option, start the installation program and select "Apache Tomcat 6.0.14" in the "custom installation" dialog box ".
2. For C/C ++ Development (applicable to "C/C ++" and "all" download options), you need to install additional compilers and tools. For more information, see install and configure C/C ++ support.
3. To use Sun Java System Access Manager, in addition to selecting the all download option for IDE, you also need to install Java application platform SDK Update 3 or later on the http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp site. Make sure to use the "Download" or "download (including JDK)" button to download the corresponding version. For more information about the steps required to install the Access Manager, see install Sun Java System Access Manager.

Upgrade earlier versions and coexist with earlier versions

If you have installed earlier versions of netbeans ide 6.0 (M9 preview, Beta 1, beta 2, RC1, or RC2) and intend to upgrade to netbeans ide 6.0.1, we recommend that you uninstall earlier versions. To perform this operation, complete these steps:

1. Detach an earlier version 6.0 from the system.
   Follow the uninstallation procedure described in this document. For more information, see uninstall software.
2. Run the netbeans ide 6.0 installer and install the IDE as described in the installation software.

Netbeans ide 5.5, 5.5.1, or 6.0 may exist on the same system as netbeans ide 6.0.1. You can install or run netbeans ide 6.0.1 without uninstalling netbeans ide 5.5, 5.5.1, or 6.0.

If you have installed netbeans ide 5.5 or 5.5.1, you can choose whether to import user settings from the early user directory when running netbeans ide 6.0.1 for the first time.

If you have installed netbeans ide 6.0, the system will not ask you about user settings when you run netbeans ide 6.0.1 for the first time, because these two versions use the same user directory.

Troubleshooting working directory of the installer

The installer stores data about the installation session in its working directory. For example, such data includes the list of installed components in the system, installation log messages, and registry data.

For Windows, the default location of the installer's working directory is% USERPROFILE %/. NBIFor other platforms, the default location is~ /. NBI. The log subdirectory contains the Installation Log File.

Clean up Incomplete installation

If the installation is not complete or fails, you may need to clear the previous installation in the system.

For Microsoft Windows, Solaris OS, and Linux:

1. Delete the working directory of the installer.
2. Delete the installation directories of the IDE and glassfish application servers.
3. On Windows, delete allNBI *Registry key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/uninstall
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/uninstall

Disable software before installation

Before starting installation, it is best to disable firewall, anti-virus, and monitor applications. Some of these applications may prevent the IDE components from being correctly configured during installation.

For example, if the system is running the Logitech process monitor application (Lvprcsrv.exe), Disable it before installation.
