Netbeans "create new C++ project" Finish button, nothing happens

Question

I did a fresh install of Netbeans 7.0.1 (with C++ pack). I want to create a new project and after filling in the required fields and pressing on 'Finish', it blinks one time and then nothing happens at all.

Anyone has a solution found on this? As you can see, my OS is Windows 7.

I had the same problem, and the log showed a warning and an exception when the project folder was created (see below). Indeed, changing the project folder solved the problem.

Warning:
WARNING [nativeexecution.support.logger]: [2197 ms.] Default tmp dir [C:\Users\PPATRI~1.MET\AppData\Local\Temp\] has spaces/non-latin chars in the path. It is recommended to use a path without spaces/non-latin chars for tmp dir. Either change TEMP environment variable in System Properties or use -J-Djava.io.tmpdir=c:\tmp to change the temp dir.

Exception:
