NetBeans could not install some modules

Question

I am using NetBeans 7.4 DEVELOPMENT VERSION 2, All packages.

First I used NetBeans 7.2, All packages. Then I was notified that I have updates. So I updated it to 7.4 DEVELOPMENT VERSION.

Then again I was notified that I have updates, and I started updating. But by mistake, I clicked a php file while NetBeans was updating, and an error occurred that caused the update to fail. I can't remember the error message.

**Now my problem is that when I start NetBeans, I get the following error message : **

Warning - could not install some modules: org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.auth - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3 Beta 2\ide\modules\org-eclipse-core-runtime-compatibility-auth.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.auth state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.equinox.registry - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3 Beta 2\ide\modules\org-eclipse-equinox-registry.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.equinox.registry state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.core.contenttype - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3 Beta 2\ide\modules\org-eclipse-core-contenttype.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.core.contenttype state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.equinox.app - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3 Beta 2\ide\modules\org-eclipse-equinox-app.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.equinox.app state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.core.runtime - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3 Beta 2\ide\modules\org-eclipse-core-runtime.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.core.runtime state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.equinox.security - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3 Beta 2\ide\modules\org-eclipse-equinox-security.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.equinox.security state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.core.net - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.3 Beta 2\ide\modules\org-eclipse-core-net.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.core.net state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.core - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Users\Arif Rana\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3beta2\modules\org-eclipse-mylyn-commons-core.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.core state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.net - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Users\Arif Rana\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3beta2\modules\org-eclipse-mylyn-commons-net.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.net state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.xmlrpc - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Users\Arif Rana\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3beta2\modules\org-eclipse-mylyn-commons-xmlrpc.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.xmlrpc state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.core - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Users\Arif Rana\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3beta2\modules\org-eclipse-mylyn-commons-repositories-core.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.repositories.core state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.core - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Users\Arif Rana\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3beta2\modules\org-eclipse-mylyn-tasks-core.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.core state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla.core - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Users\Arif Rana\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3beta2\modules\org-eclipse-mylyn-bugzilla-core.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.mylyn.bugzilla.core state remains INSTALLED after start() org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.core - org.netbeans.InvalidException: Netigso: C:\Users\Arif Rana\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3beta2\modules\org-eclipse-mylyn-wikitext-core.jar: Cannot start org.eclipse.mylyn.wikitext.core state remains INSTALLED after start()

Now if I click "Disable Modules and Continue", the plugins are disabled. Then if I try to activate the plugins, I get another error message. The following image is the error message while activating "Developing Netbeans" plugin.

I don't want to uninstall NetBeans from my pc as I am very much used to with it, and I have custom settings.

So I need help on how to repair my installed copy of NetBeans.

Answer 1

It's very simple :

1 - Try to find this file /home/yourname/.cache/netbeans

2 - And clear all files

Answer 2

1. Uninstall Net Beans

2. Just Delete everything from:

C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\8.1\

C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.1\

I am using 8.1 version. 

3. After deleting just restart your machine.

4. Re-Install

I did the following steps and it worked :)

Answer 3

I have the same issue. If you will get version 7.4 and install it on a clean PC (or remove all netbeans data/config folders) and disable the check for updates, during installation the installation will proceed without errors and netbeans runs. In the case of the first update, the issue comes back.

Answer 4

I had the same issue with Apache Netbeans 11.2. As mentioned above deleting Cache worked but I will add I replaced the install folder, I did not have an installer. By unzipping the download again and replacing the install folder, it worked, the zipped download was good but it seems the install folder was corrupted also.

Answer 5

In the modules directory (in userdir http://netbeans.apache.org/wiki/DevFaqUserDir.asciidoc), locate the files that appear in that error (like org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.auth) and delete or move them in another directory.
