Save distnbopenvms65_v65_200.nbm for NetBeans 6.5.

3.  Start NetBeans on your desktop system.

4.  Open the NetBeans Update Center wizard (choose Update Center from the Tools menu).

-  Choose the Install Manually Downloaded Modules option.

-  Follow the instructions on the wizard for completing the installation.

-  After clicking Finish, if you are prompted to restart NetBeans, you must choose Restart the IDE to complete installation of the module.

Single user vs. multiuser installation

Standard NetBeans module installation is single user. If you want to do a systemwide installation, select the Global checkbox on the View Certificates and Install Modules page.

Important  When choosing a systemwide installation, make sure:

-  You have write access to the directories in which NetBeans is installed.

-  No other users are running NetBeans while you are doing the update.

You may also need to change the protection of installed modules so that others can access the files.
