NB Build-Build 200901261401 GFV3-B33 JDK-jdk1.6.0_07 OS-WinXP Steps to reproduce: -Install IDE -Start IDE and select Tools>Servers>Add Servers>GlassFishV3 -Check that the default installation location is 'C:\Program Files\glassfish-v3-prelude-b28c' -Remove 'glassfish-v3-prelude-b28c' from the default installation location and type some name to download V3. -In my case I typed location as 'C:\Program Files\GFV3-33' Issue: -See the error message in the bottom of the wizard, saying "C:\Program Files\GFV3-33 does not exist and can not be created". -Instead of that error message,wizard should show that "C:\Program Files\GFV3-33 does not exist but can be downloaded and installed there".

Are you able to install the server in a location outside C:\Program Files?
Yes, I am able to download GFV3 inside the directory "c:\gfv3". But in the "c:\program files\" location i was not able to download V3 build.
since you are able to download v3 to other locations, this seems like a p3 issue. Note: this error message may actually be correct... Have you changed the permissions on 'c:\Program Files'?
this may be related to http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4420020...
Please reevaluate
Since there are a number of folks that have been able to install v3 and nb 6.5, 6.7, 6.7.1 and 6,8 onto win xp, I can only guess that something else is going on that is particular to the users environment. There were still unanswered questions related to this issue. I am closing this as wfm. Please reopen if this is stil an issue with recent nb 6.8 builds.
