there is no convenient way but you should always be able to manually remove NetBeans (including installer config files in AppData/Local/Temp), then install it again using the same (in your case NB23) installer. Once done, uninstall it which should now work.
This will create fresh config files for the uninstaller and should remove everything from the windows registry too. some affected users report that it is working for them, e.g: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/8058#issuecomment-2682880963 -mbien On 24.02.25 20:13, Tellis, Wyatt wrote: > Thanks for the pointer.
