Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3213:
----------------------------------

If you can't use the installer because your Windows install is locked down, and can't unlock the permissions, you can install Eclipse yourself (download the zip, unpack it), then install the devstudio features into that via its update site or via Eclipse Marketplace.

Or, you could try launching a Windows Powershell (Admin) console, then run this:

{code}java c:\path\to\where\you\downloaded\devstudio-installer.jar{code}

> Trying to install JBDS 8.0.0.GA in a customer locked down environment, on a windows machine which has the group policy for locking out the cmd prompt enabled causes the installer to hang at the P2 Director stage.  Running with -DTRACE=TRUE shows that it gets to running java -jar ...JBDS.....jar but is trying to use some mechanism which on windows invokes the command prompt, and we end up with, in the console, the message
> The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.
> Press any key to continue . . .
> but this is hidden when not running in -DTRACE=TRUE mode, and even in trace mode, you can't hit a key as the installer has focus and not the console
