I am trying to install NetBeans, but I get a white window "NetBeans Installer lock file exists" and it quits. I haven't had NetBeans installed on this PC before and the first time the installer started I accidentally denied admin privilege for it.

I've tried:

  • to look NetBeans up in add&remove programs but it's not there.

  • to search for lock file with hidden files visible.

  • to find NetBeans folder ins appdata\roaming but there's none.

  • try different installers

I'd really appreciate if somebody could help me with this.

  • why not just download the zip and unzip it? – Stultuske Nov 25 '19 at 11:14
  • Try it on a **virtual** or **another PC** instead, or [**see this ad-hoc list**](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25004226/msi-vs-nuget-packages-which-are-is-better-for-continuous-delivery/25005864#25005864) from *"A Deployment Mnemonic"* and the next couple of sections. You can also try a simple **reboot** first. – Stein Åsmul Nov 25 '19 at 17:15

Solved, there was indeed a lock file that was created on the first "failed" run of the installer but it's not called anything netbeans, it was in C:\User\x.nbi.nbilock found out when I was trying to run a JDK installer.
