I upgraded to 4.18 from 4.14. When I tried to open program, it would bounce in the dock for a second or two, then disappear. Further attempts to open it resulted in nothing at all.

I then dumped the program, all prefs, all receipts, anything related to Limewire including the dmg and started from scratch. New dmg, new install, same result.

I then dumped everything again, upgraded anything I could (though I was already up to date on Software Update) and re-updated Java (release 7). Then reinstalled...same resjult: nothing but a two second bounce on the first try.

I then dumped everything related to limewire and downloaded previous version 4.14. Now it does the same thing, that is, bounce, disappear, no launch.

What's going on here?

I see a couple of threads, none suffieciently answered and I've tried all suggestions that apply, including Startup from a safe boot (nothing)

Does anyone know what's going on?
