After a plugin update Netbeans may not be able to start on Windows 8 with the following error.

Error: Cannot load "platform/lib/nbexec64.dll". The specified module could not be found. (126)

The workaround is to start bin/netbeans.exe once... and then start netbeans64.exe as you normally would for 64bit platforms
