MaximusBongus, My Hero!
Your install fix worked for me too! At control, alt, del I did NOT see
"Java Run 2......" but I DID see "J2.... and then some incomprehensible code name" I took a chance, highlighted it and ended the task. Lo and behold the install completed! I have Limewire again (I had dutifully uninstalled the older version before downloading v1.6). I don't know why I'm so happy to have the Limewire interface back since they left me high and dry!
