Updated 4/19/18:
I raised a bug report for this issue: NETBEANS-997 Unable to download and create GlassFish server. It is fixed in NetBeans 11.0.
Also see NETBEANS-997 Fix for unable to download and create GlassFish server / support for installing GF 4.1.2 & GF 5.0

I can replicate your problem when downloading GlassFish as part of the process of adding the GlassFish server. In my case, this is what happened:
- I selected an existing Installation Location folder to contain the download of GlassFish, named C:UsersjohndoeGFDownload
- I received a Download & Install completed... message, followed by the Does not exist error, just as you did.
- The folder I had created (C:UsersjohndoeGFDownload) was renamed as C:UsersjohndoeGFDownload1 and contained a single empty file named foo4126589950858116700.tmp.
So this looks like a bug in NetBeans: if there is an error during the process of downloading GlassFish then NetBeans renames your Installation Location folder, and incorrectly reports Download & Install completed....
In your case, check to see whether NetBeans renamed your Installation Location folder as E:UsersWouterGlassfish_Server1.
Since this issue is occurring on Oracle's 8.x version of NetBeans, and NetBeans has now been handed over to Apache, I doubt that the problem will be fixed. However, there is a simple workaround:
- First, download Glassfish directly from the GlassFish download page.
- Then specify the folder containing the download of GlassFish as the Installation Location in the Add Server Instance screen.

Another options is install a different Netbeans 8.2 bundle here
And avoid this issue. For example 'java EE bundle' or 'All bundle'
