             Summary: NBI Windows Cleaner.exe doesn't delete read-only files
                 Key: NETBEANS-3094
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3094
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: platform - Other
    Affects Versions: 11.1
         Environment: Windows
            Reporter: lbruun


Problem: The Windows Cleaner process isn't able to delete files with read-only attribute set.

 

(Windows Cleaner is a small C application which is part of *NBI* - NetBeans Installer)

 

This is in particular a problem when the uninstaller tries to delete a bundled JRE as the JRE has files with read-only attribute set.

For the record: this has always been a problem. The Unistaller leaves files behind and the main reason is this. Note that the equivalent on Linux/Mac, the {{cleaner.sh}} script, doesn't suffer from the same problem as it does 'rm -f' operation.


It is rather trivial to fix. I'll file a PR.
