What does it show if the launcher isn't working? That you cannot start platform! When I wrote the installation proposal https://platform.netbeans.org/articles/installation.html I described that nbexec shall be there and shall be used to launch the platform. I don't think much changed since then. Releasing something without a way to start it doesn't make it very useful, in my opinion.
