I cannot install netbeans since it is trying to write a file in a location that he thinks is my home directory but actually is a network folder where I do not have the permission to write (\\Ubz01\Profs\User\fricci\.nbi). The point is that I do not understand where the installer is finding this value. In netbeans 6.01 this directory was created in C:\Documents and Settings\fricci and everything worked. I have similar problems also with the Java Micro Edition platform sdk 3.0. Any solution? thanks Francesco
The home directory is taken from the Java`s "user.home" system property. I don`t remember correctly how and where JDK is taken from, but if I am not mistaken, Java uses (for the user home directory) the parent folder of the directory that is set the registry value named "Desktop" under key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders Probably it depends on JDK version... BTW, what is the value of %USERPROFILE% ? You might want to find \\Ubz01\Profs\User\fricci in the registry, it can give the clue of how the JDK determines the user home directory. Unfortunately NB Installer does not contol it much...
