Netbeans can't find JDK and JRE

Question

I'm trying to install netbeans and it cannot locate the JDK folder. Things I've tried so far:-

I tried specifying the path in the installer asC:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1 as well as C:\Program Files\Java . I get an error saying JDK is not in the folder.

I tried installing from command prompt with netbeans-8.0.2-windows.exe --javahome "C:\\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1". This removes the JDK error but I now get JRE not found error.

So I tried this netbeans-8.0.2-windows.exe --javahome "C:\\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_201". Now I get JDK not found error.

My PATH variable is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1 and the JAVA_HOME variable is C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.1 ; C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_201

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Download a jdk for Java 8. Netbeans 8 doesn't support Java 11, and a Java 8 JRE is not a JDK. — Elliott Frisch, Mar 14 '19 at 16:37

Netbeans 8 does not run with JDK 11.

More info https://netbeans.org/downloads/8.2/

JDK 8 is required for installing and running the Java SE, Java EE and All NetBeans Bundles. NetBeans 8.2 does not run on JDK 9 or later
