I encountered this error today while attempting to install NetBeans SE IDE.

Error: JDK 6 or JDK 5 is required for installing the NetBeans IDE. Make sure that the JDK is properly installed and run the installer again…..

Fix : As the error goes on to suggest , “You can specify valid JDK location using –javahome installer argument “.

If you have the JDK installed the issue is that it is not installed in the folder where NetBeans expects to find it.

- Click Start > Run

- Type “cmd” > Click OK.

- Change the directory to where your installer file is located.

- Type in the name of the installer followed by –javahome and then the location of the JRE. For Example: “netbeans-6.5-ml-javase-windows.exe –javahome c:\sun\sdk\jdk “
