OK, this was the method I used to solve it: 0. If you installed Netbeans 24, you should have seend a warning message about registry.xml. The message is right: you have lost all the information about NB 23 in registry.xml. I made a backup of registry.xml before installing NB24, so i could fix my registry.xml by adding the information about my NB 23 products from my backup to the registry.xml in \.nbi with the NB 24 information. 1. After you have fixed your registry.xml, look for the default-uri entry for an icon of a NB 24 product, mine was: <default-uri>file:/C:/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Temp/nbi9486179336385376691/icon.png</default-uri> 2. Then, look for the default-uri entry for an icon of a NB 23 product, mine was: <default-uri>file:/C:/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Temp/nbi14108944310562826630/icon.png</default-uri> 3. Go to the folder of step 1 (C:/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Temp/nbi9486179336385376691/) and copy all the files to the folder of the step 2 (C:/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Temp/nbi14108944310562826630/). 4. Now you should be able to run the uninstaller. It's too late for me to write a more detailed explanation (mainly about fixing registry.xml), but I hope this one gives the devs a way to solve it properly. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
