On my RH72 linux I'm not able to install NB36 RC1 candidate :-( I have instaled several JDKs from various vendors (like SUN, IBM, BlackDown) 1.3-1.4.2 I'm marking it as P3 'cause RH72 is not supported platform AFAIK, but OTOH it's quiet serious... I've executed installr for you with debug options: java -Dis.debug=1 -jar NetBeansIDE-release36-200403141830-setup.jar Also created FullThreadDumps...see attached output
Created attachment 13982 [details] Debugging info + FTD
It looks like duplicate of issue #46042. But as this issue is so old I cannot confirm this. So closing as WORKSFORME. From description it is clear when exactly installer hangs and I do not know what version of InstallShield was used to build installer.
