I recently installed Netbeans 7.2 beta and it worked fine. Then I installed Netbeans 7.2 final release on top of beta and during the installation, Netbeans 7.1 and Netbeans 7.12 were there. Now when I launch Netbeans, it does not go beyond “loading modules” stage. Simply the Netbeans screen disappear few seconds after the launch. Then I did the following.
- Uninstalled all the Netbeans versions and re-installed Netbeans 7.2
- Deleted AppData/Netbeans folder
- Deleted User/.nbi folder
- Searched the registry and deleted Netbeans related entries. (But only one entry was found)
- Deleted Netbeans Folder in Program Files folder.
- Uninstalled and Re-installed in a separate drive.
- Uninstalled and Re-installed under another user account.
None of the above worked, the only thing I did not try was to re-install the Windows XP operating system.
It there any option to try before re-installing the operating system?
I was having the same problem …. with netbeans 7.2 ,go to user/appdata/roaming/7.2/modules/ and delete all the jar files except docs,ext,locale folders … and start the ide again… basically the problem betides when u update the ide after update when u start the ide it stuck to the loading module phase.
