Description rbalada 2006-10-31 13:21:50 UTC 
OS: Windows XP SP2
Locale: en_US
JDK 1.5.0 Update 6

I've installed Java Tools Bundle (Java EE 5 SDK Update 1) from page
http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp This installer installed NB IDE
5.5 into folder "C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5". As long as good.

When I try to install NB Mobility Pack 5.5 or NB Profiler Pack 5.5, it tells me
that installer was not able to locate suitable NB IDE installation and I have to
browse manually for the folder "C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.5". When I located
the folder manually, installation finished correctly. My understanding is, that
this manual browsing for the folder is not necessary when IDE has been installed
from regular standalone NB IDE installer.

Michal M., can you verify that this works for standalone NB 5.5 installer?
Thanks Petr

Reassign the issue to installer/code.
If I am not mistaken this "search for ide" logic of Profiler/Mobility installers 
is located in class NbSearchAction.java. This action should be modified so that 
to add not only the NetBeans IDE uid itself, but also Java EE Tools Bundle UID.
Actually it differs from the pure NetBeans IDE uid.

This issue is related to Installshield based installer of Java Tools bundle. This is invalid issue in "NBI time".
Marking WONTFIX. Please verify.
