Upon further investigation, it is a Sun JRE problem. Using our EXE, we pass certain options (arguments) to the javaw.exe JRE. The JRE crashes and you can find your bug reports in your frostwire application directory "C:\Program Files\FrostWire"

Although we can probably work around this problem, please report further crashes to SUN. However, you can STILL run frostwire by executing the FrostWire.jar file directly.

Update: You can download this temporary fix of the FrostWire.exe executable here: http://www.frostwire.com/alkalinex/FrostWire.exe
Place this file into your frostwire program directory. eg "C:\Program Files\FrostWire" Also, there is a reminder in this executable that its an unofficial mod.

Report Non-FrostWire Bugs to SUN: http://bugs.sun.com/services/bugreport/crash.jsp

Thanks,

Cool but what about linux (debian/ubuntu). I need a fix.

Something went wrong with LimeWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(LimeWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.6+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6.1) (6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

Limewire doesn't appear to work with 1.6 either. It wants 1.6+
