main class?
 

whenever I try to open the application program it says " its unable to locate the application's 'main class.'" What does this mean and what should I do?

I had the same problem. I went to a website www.ircee.com/p2p/limewire.htm and downloaded version 2.4.4. Then I uninstalled the new one that messed everything up, and installed 2.4.4. It works like a charm. If at first you search for a song and the limewire icon just keeps spinning hit stop and go to file and click disconnect, then go to file again and click connect, then check your connections and you should see your connections. Everything should be OK for you I hope.

We've fixed this in version 2.7.8. Sorry for the confusion.

Nope
 

I just downloaded the 2.7.8 from the Pro page and am getting the same error. Again and again and again.

The same Java error as before....

Also, the old Non Fatal Translator Settings error mysteriously came back.:confused:

This should finally be fixed in 2.7.9. Apologies again for the confusion - 2.7.8 also was corrupted.

Thanks for everyone's help on this.

Adam, does version 2.7.9 fix the Fatal Error?

When to you expect the porblem to be fixed?

2.7.9 does fix the problem. Our apologies agaiin for the frustrations (I know it's a big download).

Adam, where do we get version 2.7.9? Do we download it from the download page on the LimeWire website? How big is it? If I already have Java would I download Macintosh No VM? What version would you recommend I download? Thanks for your advice.

You can get the free version without a VM from the following link:

http://www3.limewire.com/download/LimeWireMacNoVM.bin

If you have pro, you should be able to simply insert "NoVM" at the end of the link URL (but before .bin) to access it. That version is under 6 MB.

Adam, thanks for your advice. I am downloading it as I type. I will let you know if it works or doesn't work for me.

Yet again...
 

I am still getting the same error. I have no LimeWire on my system because at some point I was told to delete everything... I'm still getting the Java error message, I'm still getting a non-fatal error when I install. AND I still have no LimeWire, despite supporting you people and having PRO.

At some point do you think this might work?

I'm running a mac OS 9.2.2

Adam, I tried it and I got the same java error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.launch(Compiled Code)
at com.zerog.lax.LAX.main(Unknown Source)
at com.apple.mrj.JManager.JMStaticMethodDispatcher.ru n(JMAWTContextImpl.java)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java)


That is what I get when I clicked details.

me too
 

At this point, after numerous tries, I could probably quote the error message by rote.


And it just keeps popping up.... no matter how many times I install... see the error message. Uninstall everything. Reboot. Redownload an ever growing batch of LimeWire versions. Reinstall. See the log post a non-fatal error message. Have it tell me that LimeWire will run sucessfully. click on that little LimeWire button. And watch as once again.... that Java Error message pops up. 2.7.7 doesn't work. 2.7.8 didn't work and now 2.7.9 simply repeats the error.

I've purchased PRO, to support what is increasingly an exercise in futility for me.

or a nice way to practice rebooting my system

The free version was not updated until today, unfortunately. Apologies again for the annoyance.

I've made a change to our build process that will make this error not happen ever again in the future. Thank you all again for you patience.

so what now?
 

So what now? Do I download from the Pro page? The last time I did that, I got an internal bug note that I had to forward to you guys and I haven't heard back from you yet...

Adam, I get this error when I startup LimeWire. I get it 3 times. First when LimeWire starts up. 2nd when I close the options window. 3rd when I quit the program. I also get the setup wizard every time I try to open the program. Please look in to this. Thanks

Interesting, I just got this internal bug notice today. (I've been sticking with 2.7.3 all this time because of reading all these java posts.) I tried 2.7.8 yesterday and got the java main class error. I uninstalled 2.7.8 and reinstalled my 2.7.3 no VM yesterday. Ran it (it was running better than ever, even!) and then it froze at some point. So today, when I rebooted and restarted LimeWire, I get this error message. So, I'm kinda wondering too, if 2.7.8 messed something up in my system. I am using Mac OS 9.1 Hmmmm.....

And now, I apologize to all those people that I told that Adam had said it was fixed. Ooops.

System problem?
 

So now LimeWire has done something to MY operating system? And I still haven't heard back from Pro Support....

Am not feeling very friendly toward LimeWire at this point

Re: System problem?
 

Not necessarily. It may be something in 2.7.3 that was a problem. I was clearing out some old emails and I found another bug notice I had sent from when I first installed it a few weeks ago. It was the same exact message. So, I think it just came up because I had reinstalled it the other day. It still works.

I think something is obviously being overlooked in the code.

I'm sorry you haven't heard back. I'd be alot more upset, too, if I were a paying customer. Since I'm not, it's not that big of a deal. It'll get worked out eventually. I hope! :rolleyes:

S.O.S
 

Acutally I'm getting the exact same error problems as LimeDude. Every single problem. From getting the setup Wizard on each startup, to the exact same error code and problems. I'd like to hear back. It would be nice. Beside from posting on the forums, I've sent emails to bugs, support and service.

And aside from two very neat automatic message responses, have heard nothing from Lime wire regarding my continuing problems since the upgrade.

We're looking at this problem now as well. For some reason, this was fixed on OS X, but not on OS 9. We should have it solved shortly.

OS 9... the forgotten MAC OS
 

Thanks for checking in on the problem... Please let me know the resolution

Thanks Adam for checking on this problem.

yay!
