On Windows, when running platform\lib\nbexec*.exe, in Apache NetBeans 9.0 Alpha, this error may occur:

Reason:

nbexec is using the root folder (/) for the userdir and cache dir.

Workaround, run nbexec like this instead:

./platform/lib/nbexec --userdir /tmp/testuserdir

Also, running 'ant tryme' in the root folder should start up the NetBeans Platform correctly.

The other point is that it is probably not relevant to run the NetBeans Platform at all, so long as applications created on top of it can run, which they should/can.
