The specified installation folder is read-only Netbeans error message


I am trying to install Netbeans latest version. And I can't pass through this error "The specified installation folder is read-only" when it asks for "JDK for Netbeans IDE". I've tried manually unchecked the Read-only check in Program Files/Java/jdk-15/ but when it itself checks it back to Read-only. i.e. I can't unchecked the read-only option either way.


Solution

  • I had an issue before that, saying jdk is not instaled.

    So i had opened cmd got to downloads folder

    "netbeans name.exe" --extract

    java -jar bundle.jar got the install process runing,

    when i got to the folder selection page, that message apeared

    Did the same process runnig cmd as admin, it worked
