The specified target component - nb-base/8.1.0.0.201510222201 was not found in the registry.

Question

I am trying to uninstall NetBeans. I am getting below error when I try to uninstall.

The specified target component - nb-base/8.1.0.0.201510222201 was not found in the registry. The installer can continue as if the target component was not specified.
Click Yes to continue, No to exit the installer.

How do I resolve that?

 

Answer 1

uninstall.exe --userdir c:\Users\Administrator\.nbi

If it didnt work, then I guess your nbi registries are broken. I think one way is to remove the whole installation folder. I also recommend  you to delete the <user profile>/.nbi folder, where the registries can be found.

That worked! Thank you.

It doesn't work

Answer 2

Go to the program files and delete NetBeans folder and then go to the users and delete .nbi (current user). Then uninstall it. Hope this will work for you.
