SUCCESS!!
 

Gather 'round to hear the miracle...I have successfully installed Limewire.

I was continuing my search for the solution to the MRJ/Installer problem, and found a website with info about MRJ installation--where all the components should be. Now, I've re-installed MRJ several times, but when I checked the system folder, I noticed components missing, or misplaced. No idea how, or why that happened.
I followed the instructions, and voila! The LW installer finally worked.

So, for anyone interested, here's the site:
http://www.stsci.edu/webet/MacSetup.html

I've also attached a jpg screen capture of the info from the site.

I'll do my best to pass this info on, (and post it in some forums) to anyone having the same conflict/problem.

Thanks so much to all who helped, offered suggestions, and stuck with it for so long. It's much appreciated.

Great! MRJ, huh! Which were the missing components?

Ahhh. The joy of success.

Congratulations, and I hope you enjoy Limewire most thoroughtly!

The components weren't actually missing, they were in the wrong folder. I have no idea why, or how.

To all involved with the Saga of Jottagirl: Wow! Thank you for hours of interesting reading. Kinda like a soap opera (but without the marital infidelity and evil twin).

What a saga. Just reading about it has exhausted me - I think that sushi and beer are in order to celebrate your journey and success.

Nice job boys & girls!

>>(but without the marital infidelity and evil twin)<<

Oh, but there WAS...you missed a great chapter. <g>

At least this story entertained *someone*.

Oh yeh, just call us the 'jones busters.' She got a m-r-j jones, boom-chaka-chaka-boom, she "had" a m-r-j jones, backa, backa boom. ;)
Good job on the fix young lady. :)

ahem....not exactly a "young" lady, but thanks, sonny!

But I *feel* pretty childish. <g>

Hmm, Sonny? I thought dirt and I shared a common birthday. Why thank you for the compliment. Now where did I put that invite to meet Adam, it was just..............;)

Hey, I *knew* dirt....dirt was a friend of mine. And, Sir, you're not as *nearly* as old as dirt.
And take it from me, Adam & Eve's parties aren't as exciting as they sound. You know the kind of snakes that hang out at the Garden of Eden mansion...it always turns into a reptilian free-for-all.
Bobbing for apples is the highlight of the evening.
