I also had the same problem with LimeWire 1.6d for OS X. I decided to open the package contents, and under Contents/Resources I noticed that a line in MRJApp.properties was different in the beta than the 1.6b release. The line:

com.apple.mrj.application.classpath=/Users/limewire/Desktop/LimeWire6d/LimeWire.jar:/Users/limewire/Desktop/LimeWire6d/collections.jar

should be:

com.apple.mrj.application.classpath=Contents/Resources/Java/LimeWire.jar:Contents/Resources/Java/collections.jar

Everything worked after making that change. There was another line that was different:
com.apple.mrj.application.main=a.a.a.b.Main
is now
com.apple.mrj.application.main=com.limegroup.gnute lla.gui.Main

but I think that's how it should be. The line I changed; however, definitely seems to be the issue as it gives the path to the jar files and everything appears to work after making the change.

Oh, and one more thing. I tried posting this under my registration (iammanta), but it said I didn't have permission to post. I can post fine as Unregistered though. Interesting....

Hope this helps.

actually my id is themanta

Did you confirm your e-mail address be clicking on the link in the e-mail that vBulletin sent you?

No I didn't as I had not checked my e-mail since registering and I was automatically logged into the site. It appears everything is working now that I have. Thanks for the info.

As for LimeWire 1.6d, everything seems to work since I made the change I noted previously; however the occasional crash on startup seems to have returned. I didn't have the problem under 1.6b, but I'm having it now. Other than that, no issues.

Macos x limewire 1.6d problem is fixed!

thanks themanta, it did the trick...
i wonder why limewire group hadn't found this issue before?

i dono if ya care but i still get the ikernal error. it has to be a problem with the installer or some ****. i just cant get it installed and im real mad at it now...lol.

I have just downloaded LimeWire 1.6d and it works great.
If you cant get it to work than 99.9% of the time you did something wrong. All versions of LimeWire have worked on my system. Windows 98se........


Keep up the good work guys. Why dont you make the LimeWire Logos bigger on the shirt?

As I mentioned in another post, I just spoke with InstallShield support regarding the Ikernel.exe issue, and they pointed me towards a document that outlines trouble shooting steps for this problem. The InstallShield document reads:

Summary

I am getting one of the following errors during setup initialization:

Error extracting support files
Error installing Ikernel.exe (0x any number)
Access is denied
Error loading Type Library/DLL


Discussion

Setup initialization errors can be caused by a number of factors. This is a non-exhaustive list of possible resolutions:

1. Insufficient permissions on the machine. If you are using a Windows NT or a Windows 2000 machine, you need to have administrative permissions to run an InstallShield Professional 6.x setup. Make sure you have the correct permissions.

2. If you just ran an InstallShield setup, the engine takes a few seconds at the end of the installation to clean up. During this time Ikernel.exe (the engine file) is running in memory from a previous process; that is why you are not allowed to launch another setup. Waiting a few seconds and running the setup again should resolve this.

3. Check and make sure Ikernel.exe is not in memory; if it is, and no setup is running at the time, end that task.

4. Clean the temp directory.

5. Delete the Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Engine folder and then rerun the setup.

6. Reinstalling IE 5.x can also repair a number of corrupted/missing core windows files from your machine, so reinstalling IE 5.x and the NT service pack is also suggested.

7. Another possibility is that you do not have sufficient COM permissions. For information on how to troubleshoot this see article Q104986, INFO: Initialization Error Troubleshooting.

8. The other potential cause is a missing Stdole32.tlb file. This is a core Windows file and should exist on your machine. Make sure that you if you get this file from another machine, the machine is running the same operating system as the target machine.

9. Download and run DCom98.exe from the following site: http://www.microsoft.com/com/dcom/dcom98/download.asp


Does following any of these steps enable your install to work?

This works fine on my computer. I have upgraded to IE 5.5 so I have the crucial DLL's that would be missing, I had Limewire download the Java Runtime files required, etc. It works fine.

Limewire 1.6d does not work on my computer as well. (sniff sniffal )

I tryed Christophers experiment but alas still does not work. So I tryed this...

I went to options/network/listening port and tryed to change value to 6346, I got the following mesage
"Port not availabal. Please select a different port."
I get the same mesage for every different # I type in.

Could you please look in to this chris... thanx

P.S. connections tab shows nothing, running wi***b, WL 1.4 worked fine, tryed to reboot ect...

Just wanted to let you know that I downloaded the latest OS X version of 1.6d and everything is working good. I was online for about 3 hours yesterday evening and downloaded and uploaded a nice good amount. The only issue I've seen is the return of the crash of first run bug. I didn't have this problem with 1.6b, and it's now back in 1.6d. I've tried the latest version on two machines, a new iBook and a old Beige G3 266MHz MT both running Mac OS X 10.0.4. Hopefully the GUI performance will improve when 10.1 is release, but network performance seems to be fine. Thanks for all the hard work, and I really appreciate the attention given to make a version of LimeWire that takes advantage of the Java integration in Mac OS X.

Thanks
