Unhappy Setup Quitting - Windows Vista

I have used LimeWire Pro before. But it no longer runs. I uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version and installed the latest version of Java. All Windows Updates are done as well. I am using Symantec Internet security 2007 and LimeWire has been set to Allow. I have a Dlink DI-604 Router which has UPnP is enabled (I've also tried disconnecting the router and still no success). I am using Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit on an Athlon 64 X2 4200+.
LimeWire starts the setup process and I get to the last window with the finish button and it quits and the windows message appears that this program has stopped working and is searching for solutions (which it never finds). Can someone please tell me how to get LimeWire working again.
Thanks
Ernie

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Then try to re-install limewire....

Go back into your add/remove programs and delete all the Java versions you have except for the 5.11...

Ok - Only 5.11 is installed - LimeWire still crashes on the setup.

Try deleting your preference folder/s...This will reset your configurations back to default and get rid of any corruption that may of happened...

If that doesn't help try these fixes...
