Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200809240201) Java: 1.6.0_10-rc2; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b15 System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Description: ============ when options - Force Install into shared directory is checked, svn libraries should be automatically installed into Netbeans installation directory. This seems to be correctly working on all platform except Vista. Updater finds out that directory doesn't have enought permissions event though IDE was installed under the same user and installs automatically appropriate libs into userdir without letting known about it to user User should be informed about it.
Setting the "Force install into shared directories" flag on the Plugins->Settings panel results in the error: "Shared directory C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.5\nb6.5 is read-only. Cannot install into the directory." But as the OP, I installed the IDE with the same user! Like this, plugins get installed in my userdir, which is synchronized with a server -> the user profile synchronization gets slowed down a lot! -> P2
Reassigning to autoupdate. Could you please look at this issue? 1) The initial message refers to org.netbeans.autoupdate.api.InstallSupport, which is called by Subversion module code to automatically install Subversion client 1.5 libraries 2) The second (Tue Mar 31 12:14:02 +0000 2009) refers (at least I think) to the global Tools>Plugins>Settings dialog in IDE
Don't it as a good justification for p2, if synch to server can't filter out some folders (for example netbeans plugins folder). Also initial issue says about "no message" but second one says about reas-only folder message. Can message.log be attached?
Please check the latest build (6.7M3 for example). I remember I`ve fixed some issues with permissions detection in the daily builds (not included in 6.5.1 and previous releases) so you should be informed that you don`t have enough permissions when you try to check "Force Install into shared directory". Please note that on Vista (with UAC enabled) you always install NB with administration privileges - in so called "evaluation mode". It is the installer feature and you might note the Vista`s evaluation dialog just after you run the installer. When running NB under the same user you don`t see such a dialog and thus run it as normal user (without admin rights and without permissions to write into C:\Program Files\NetBeans X.X.X). To run NetBeans with admin rights, right-click on the shortcut and invoke "Run as Administrator". In that case can you`ll be able to install plugins into shared directories (C:\Program Files\NetBeans X.X.X). If you still experience issues with permissions with 6.7M3 please reopen the issue, provide some clear steps to reproduce the issue and emphasize the difference between "what you see" and "what you expect" .
