title: Unable to setup Symfony2 framework with NetBeans IDE (8.1)
body: <p><strong>Stuck at Error: "Symfony console must be selected"</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've been trying for almost a week to set up an environment to develope a web application using <strong>Symfony2 framework and NetBeans IDE</strong>. I already have a an HTML-Bootstrap-Javascript  project ready. There is no engine to the car yet, except for a few trial use cases. The requirement is to select an approriate framework and IDE to develop the php part of the application.</p>
  
  <p>I've done the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Installed the installer from command line and moved to the projects
  folder (which is in the wamp/www directory)</li>
  <li>Created new symfony project from command line ( php symfony new Test)</li>
  <li>Downloaded and installed NetBeans 8.1 (I've tried 8.0.1 as well, thinking that using the .zip file from GitHub might solve the problem as most solutions online to similar issues are related to using the .zip folde - 8.1 takes installer path)</li>
  <li>In NetBeans tools/options I've given path to php.exe and under frameworks "Installer" selected the installer file I had downloaded (D:\wamp\www\projects\symfony). One thing that bugs me here is that if I click "Search.." after selecting this path, it doesnt find the installer.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>After creating new project, and going through all the steps of the wizard (selecting framework symphony2) I get the error <strong>"symfony2 console must be selected"</strong>
  At this point the options dialog box comes to foreground with the "frameworks &amp; tools" tab open.<a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/2NGc4.png" rel="nofollow">Option dialog box when pops up when error dialog box is closed</a></p>
  
  <p>Since I'm not using any zip file, instead I'm using the installer, I cannot apply the recommendations on another post here which talks about extracting the zip folder and creating a new zip folder with the sub contents. </p>
  
  <p>Getting frustrated with this combo now, btw...I have tried an older version of NetBeans so I could use the .zip folder from GitHub, implemented the solution I found on stackoverflow....same result. I can really use some help here!! Thanks in advance.</p>
