I'm afraid I just don't see how this could happen. Do you know of any way to reproduce with a new NB installation?
*** Bug 186569 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
problems remain -- after running nb68 and seeing how a platform should appear after being added, i added a platform to nb dev version. but it still has problems -- but is not generating exceptions. see attached jpeg -- i think its related somehow ???
Created attachment 99407 [details] believe may be related issue -- jpeg
also in tools/netbeans platforms -- the invalid platform cannot be removed.
Created attachment 99408 [details] shows cannot remove invalid platform
Seems like critical modules, such as NB platform or harness, are installed in C:\Users\emiddio\.netbeans, rather than in the NB installation directory (subdirs 'platform' and 'harness') as you would expect. I am not sure how they got there, but this is likely your problem. Try deleting your user directory (make a backup first). I will try to improve console logging in core-main #a1280939dc0c to make these things easier to diagnose.
should it be ok to rename .netbeans/dev dir to 6.8; then with today's nbdev build -- do an import from the 6.8 dir ? thanks
May work.
