Oracle SQL developer error: could not install some modules

I have downloaded a fresh copy of sqldeveloper (sqldeveloper-4.1.3.20.78-no-jre) from the Oracle website. When I unzip it and launch the GUI, I keep getting the following error message:

Warning - could not install some modules: Dynamic Module Config - No module providing the capability org.netbeans.Netbinox could be found.

My system:

  • Windows 7 32 bit Hp Probook
  • Jdk 1.6 , 1.7, 1.8 available in java/jdk subdirectory
  • Netbeans 8.0.2 installed
Solution

  • Finally got the way out after some dirty hours. Initially I extracted the sqldeveloper zip in a nested directory.

    i.e: E://A/B/C/sqldeveloper.
    starting sqldeveloper gui from the above directory threw erros.

    Solution:

    • Go in C:\users**UserName**\AppData\Roaming : delete SQL Developer and sqldeveloper folders

    • Extract the Sql Developer zip in a new non nested directory. i.e: E://

    • Start it and should work now
