Frustration Reigns!!!
 

Hi There

Well I have tried to install Limewire on my Mac about four times & I don't know of it's me or Limewire.
I have OS 8.6 more than enough room for the program.
I can download it fine, but when I try to install it it always installs it in the trash can.....it does say it's starting application, but it never does.....regardless if I am connected to the internet or not.
When we look at the files there is nothing in there that even resembles something that we can click on and get the program working that way either!
Please help!!
I am using Mactella at the moment, but wanted to check out Limewire and it's all become most frustrating.
If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated.

I'll venture a guess
 

I'm guessing that since Limewire is a Java program that you might be seeing the symptoms of not having the Apple Java package installed. I believe this is now part of OS 9.*, but it may not have been included in version 8.6. I'm also guessing that this would be something you can download for free from Apple and has an extradinarily obscure name like MRJ 2.2.2.

Again I'm only guessing, but I'll leave it to the real Limewire developers to confirm this.

LimeWire will actually install Apples MRJ on your system when you install LimeWire, so you should not need to go through the trouble of downloading it from the Apple web site.

Our installer does experience problems on some Mac configurations, however, and it appears that this is what is happening in this case as well. Unfortunately, there is little that you can do to get this to work, unless we switch to using a different installer for the Mac at some point in the future.

The lack of a command line interface on the Mac also negates any other potential options for running LimeWire, so there is really nothing you can do to get this to work. Our apologies.
