Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 28
### What happened
I have been trying to configure these parameters for a lightweight C/C++ file using the MinGW64 toolchain, and I am also unable to download the NB C/C++ Pack:
a. What to enter inside the "Configuration Name" box
b. How and what to add to the "Build" command
c. How and what to add to the "Clean" command
d. How and what to add to the "Run" command
Would suggest NB scan our drives (usually SSD) to look for a C/C++ toolchain and configure the right files in the configuration setup without user intervention.
Would suggest the same for other languages that are supported on NetBeans.
OS: Windows NT 10.x
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the C/C++ toolchain configuration flow on Windows with MinGW64 and the NB C/C++ Pack installation path described in the issue. Determine the specific installation or configuration failure and define done as a reproducible fix or clear documentation for the Configuration Name, Build, Clean, and Run fields.
