System is a PIII Win98SE machine. Previously had JDK 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 installed with NB 3.4.1. - Removed all java installs and NB 3.4.1. - Installed JDK 1.4.1_03 - Two NB installations: -- Installed NB 3.5 to c:\lang\java\nb35 -- Got a "Newer version of file exists" during install for tomcat40-bundled.jar, chose to keep newer -- Get the error on startup -- Uninstalled NB, reboot -- Installed NB 3.5 again, to c:\lang\java\netbeans35 -- Got "newer file" question during install, chose to overwrite -- Got the error on startup Error fires during "Reading Module Storage" section of IDE startup according to splash screen. Dialog titled "Unexpected Exception" shows with the message "An org.netbeans.core.modules.DuplicateException exception has occurred". After that, a warning dialog shows with the message "File org-netbeans-modules-web-tomcat-tomcat40.xml already exists in default system". Ide.log will be attached, shows error firing for both installs. Also attached is a dump of the two tomcat jar files. The first file that the installer writes for tomcat40-bundled.jar is a 3k file, and the "older" one that it asks about is 644k.
Created attachment 10759 [details] jar -tvf output for large tomcat40.jar
Created attachment 10760 [details] jar -tvf of small tomcat40.jar file
Created attachment 10761 [details] ide.log from first run of IDE
The first attached output (large) is from tomcat40.jar, while the second (small) from tomcat40_bundled.jar
I am not sure why it expand tomcat40-bundled.jar as tomcat40.jar. Looks like problem with unpacker.
