What are ant.bat Error Messages?

General ant.bat Runtime Errors

ant.bat file errors often occur during the startup phase of NetBeans, but can also occur while the program is running. These types BAT errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while NetBeans is running. Here are some of the most common ant.bat runtime errors:

ant.bat could not be found.

Program: C:\Program Files\NetBeans-11.2\netbeans\extide\ant\bin\ant.bat

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Most BAT errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your ant.bat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with NetBeans), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, ant.bat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading NetBeans, system crash while loading or saving ant.bat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Download ant.bat Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying ant.bat to your appropriate Windows system directory. Sun Microsystems typically does not release NetBeans BAT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing ant.bat and all other BAT files for NetBeans. An incorrectly installed BAT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
