I've been trying all day to install this package. I've browse the database here and found the error and possible solutions, but the problem still persists. Here is the tail of the log: 11/22/10 3:59:25 PM runner[3905] postflight[3921]: 11/22/10 3:59:25 PM Installer[3898] Install failed: The following install step failed: run postflight script for NetBeans Development Version 201011210001.

Looks like something is wrong with your java 6. What happens when you type "java -version" at the terminal prompt? What happens when you type "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin/java -version"? Could you please also run java preferences.app (in utilities java directory) and see if you have java 6 listed.

Here's the first part: java version "1.5.0_24" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_24-b02-357-9M3165) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_24-149, mixed mode, sharing) looks like that may be the problem. let me try to find java 6 for os/x and try again.
Actually that shouldn't be the problem. It only means that you have Java 5 as default one. I suppose you have Java 6 installed (or else installer wouldn't allow you to proceed with the installation). Could you please make sure your Java 6 installation is not corrupted. And it also helps a lot if you attach a full log here(file /var/log/install.log).
