Issues with Netbeans IDE Part 1

Couldn't get it to work on linux, and windows is just a little easier to troubleshoot, so here it goes.
Okay, so far I have redownloaded netbeans 6.7.1 roughly 6 times, and each time, regardless of the type of netbeans, Java or complete, I get the "Configuring the installer" progress bar, and then it dies immediately. I found one other poor soul with the same issue as noted by his error log that he posted, but no joy. So here it goes. here is the entire error log (installation log acutally, it is found in C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\.nbi\logs)
