This is what worked for me....was upgrading limewire v4.8.1 to v4.9.29, crashed in the middle of install, (with both windows & windows offline installer) I just restarted windows after the crash & tried again using the offline installer, worked just fine. I think my problem came from putting one version over top of another, & by restarting, it wrote to the registry that I did not have limewire & let it install. I used the so-called 'corrupted' file.

gmay- i have just not been downloading music.

mrsrocky- i'll try restarting the comuter and see if it then works...maybe.

i have like 4 versions of limewire, and I want to delete them all then re-install, however i have no uninstaller, and limewire doesn't show up on my add/remove list. How can i get these off so I can re-install from a fresh start? Thanks!

mdk2004, exactly this happened to me as well, and I'm getting really fed up with it! How to get rid of it to reinstall it without the uninstaller? and it doesn't show up in the program-list either. Is it possible just to delete it manually?Or does that harm other programs? (I'm no good at this!)

Go to Start/My Computer/Local Drive C/Program Files/LimeWire/Uninstall click on uninstall it should do what you want.

My kids have had LimeWire for about 3 weeks and I was going to set up my other daughter with her own user account . I went to download Limewire for her to use and during the download it said it was removing all previous versions. The newest version 4.9.30 never finished installing. I've tried it several times and each time it says it is corrupted. I did manage to find the music somehow and get it into Itunes so the music wasn't lost. When I clicked on the old LimeWire Icon on the desktop of my other kids user page I got a message that I was to copy the report and e-mail it to bugs@limewire.com but I got that MailerDeamon thing. Also, before the download started it said that the source of the download was unknown. Wouldn't you think if LimeWire created the update that they would know who did it?
I really liked the old version better...

Sounds like a bad Java install. Uninstall java and uninstall LimeWire go to the link below and get java and save it to your hard drive go to the link below that and get LimeWire and save it to your hard drive.

Do not use the on line installers do it manually by clicking on the files you saved to your hard drive Java first then LimeWire.

Thanks grandpa!

I did what you said. I removed the Java program, then I had to hand delete the Limewire files because i didn't have the uninstaller . Some files could not be deleted though. Then I shut down the computer. Then I downloaded the Java runtime program and then Limewire again. It works fine now. Again, a BIG thank you!

None of these tips or tricks have worked for me yet.I am still getting nowhere.My javais updated correctly and I deleted every old folder and that said limewire,made sure it was gone out of my computer completely before redownloading and trying again and I still get error mesages,The installer is messed up or something or this software is just corrupted..

can any1 halp

sorry i didnt read all the way down the post because i got confused

Sorry to inform you but you have been scammed you need to get a hold of your credit card company and try to get your money back. Then go to the official LimeWire site and get it for free.

LimeWire Basic is free and Pro is $18.88 for pro and 6 months of free upgrades. Try basic first and make sure you like it then you can buy Pro if it works for you. You can get the free version of LimeWire at the link below.


As far as installing it the instructions below may help.

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

Alright so, here is the problem.
I have been trying to download LW but once i do and it say that everything is complet and sucsessful..it won't open. I don't get anything. I have windows ( a newer version ) and I have tried numerous times, the link at the very beginning of the forum and the offline version. Help?

I purchased LM Pro this week and I can't get it installed. Here is what is happening: I downloaded the installer which was emailed to me.
This worked. It created the new icon Limewire Pro 4.9.37. When I click on
this icon, which should load the program, I receive the error message. Right
before the error message pops up, I can see that it is trying to load the
program, it says loading resources, loading html engine, loading user
interface, loading window, loading status window, loading playlist window,
and then it stops and the error message pops up. It looks like it stops
right when it is trying to load core.....?? I have tried rebooting the
system, I have tried reloading the installer, etc. No change. Same error
message at the same point. The error message states that a fatal exception OD has occurred at 0000:0000FF00. Current application will be terminated. Java is running version 1.5.
I am also running Windows 98.

I haven't received a response from LM support. I have emailed them a couple of times. I have rebooted, I have deinstalled and reinstalled. Same error message. Does anyone have any ideas?
