commandline problem "\NetBeans was unexpected at this time."

[MyNameIsNick]

Hello, I just installed Netbean 6.5, and try to run some commands under jruby\bin folder, no matter what what command I type, the command is not executed, and I keep receiving "\NetBeans was unexpected at this time." message. I also tried to run under safe mode with only commandline, I still get the same message. I use Vista. However, when I move jruby folder somewhere else, the command works. Currently my jruby folder is under C:\program files(x86)\netbeans6.5\ruby2\jruby1.1.4

Thank you very much

I assume it has to do with the whitespace in 'C:\program files(x86)' ...
can you try to place NetBeans somewhere else?

Hi,

I guess it's the space in the path that's causing the problem. If that's
the case, I'm not sure whether there is another solution that installing
NB (and hence the bundled JRuby) to a dir without spaces in the path.
Depending on what exactly you try to run, quoting the command / args
might help. Or you might want to try the latest version of JRuby
(available for download at jruby.codehaus.org) and see whether that
would help.

HTH,
Erno

No matter where I relocated NetBeans folder. After I reinstall it, the Netbean folder itself is named "Netbean 6.5" with a space between the name and the version number.

remove it ...

I also just installed NB 6.5. Actually I reinstalled it, because originally it had been installed in \Program Files\, and, this being on Vista, I had run into privilege violations when Ruby attempts to create folders. Being too lazy to struggle with Vista UAC issues--No! Because I wanted to work smarter, not harder -- I uninstalled it, and then reinstalled on \Program Files (x86).

A couple of thoughts occur to me here: First, perhaps using a different Ruby platform would fix the problem. The one from codehaus might be able to handle the problem.

If not, then maybe this: I don't remember for sure if it's possible to do this with a local folder, but would it be possible to assign a new drive letter to \Program Files (x86) and its subfolders, and then reinstall NetBeans using the new drive letter as the root folder location?

I'm nodding off, but I'll try it tomorrow and post my results here if there is no solution yet.

I don't use ruby/netbeans on windows, but I do recall there were
problems in the past when using path's that have spaces in them
mentioned in the forums.

Cheers,

Anthony

I should mention that I am able to execute the Simple_Ruby_Application from the NetBeans IDE, but when I try to run the unit test on the item class, I get the "\NetBeans Unexpected" error. So moving the root folder to a directory without a space isn't going work, in my opinion. Also, I wasn't able to map the folder to a drive letter, although there may be some administrative fix for that on my system.
