I’m trying to install the new version of the SDK Release 3.6 [pre] sdk and I get the following error:

Cannot prepare bundled JVM to run the installer

my device:
11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz 2.42 GHz
64bit processor
windows 11 😦

(Reproduced. No logs)

I have the same exact problem windows 10 64bit and jdk 17 64bit

I created a bug ticket for Netbeans itself apache/netbeans#5783. The installer is here: https://github.com/apache/netbeans-native-installers. If it helps to decipher what is going on.

There is workaround (BUT missing JME libraries) on windows 10:
open windows powershell or CMD
change directory where the installer jmonkeyplatform-windows-x64.exe
jmonkeyplatform-windows-x64.exe --extract
java -jar bundle.jar
It will install BUT missing JME libraries

Another workaround would be to use the platform independent zip and run it's jar like that (java -jar jMonkeyPlatform.jar or something)

We now insert a fake unpack200.exe to the bundled Windows JDKs. This is to satisfy Netbeans Installer (NBI) check for a valid JDK. Also all pack200 should now be disabled from the project.

Sorry, thought we have a jar, but still:

wget https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/sdk/releases/download/v3.6-stable-sdk3/jmonkeyplatform.zip
unzip jmonkeyplatform
./jmonkeyplatform/bin/jmonkeyplatform (or the .exe variants)

can always be used as a workaround.
