I think you're confused by the names of the installers. There is no such thing as an "English version" of LimeWire. There is just an InstallShield installer which we dub the English installer because it doesn't include an international JRE and an InstallAnywhere installer that we dub the International installer because it does include an international JRE. The LimeWire contained in each is 100% exactly the same.

The entire point of the 'English' installer is to not include a JRE, and to download one at install-time if it finds the using doesn't have a JRE. Conversely, the point of the "International" installer is to include an international JRE.

We are going to remove these two installers and make a single installer that can choose which JRE to get (and also get 1.4 instead of 1.3) at some point in time. That will ultimately solve all the various Java version problems. Until then, we're not doing anything with the installers.

If you want to use a newer version of Java, use the English installer. If you don't, use the International installer. If the English installer doesn't work, you can try the International installer and then delete the 'jre' directory in C:\Program Files\LimeWire. I can't guarantee that'll work, but it should.
