Limewire refuses to upgrade!!

[ccolina22]

Ok so for over a month or so I have repeatedly uninstalled the beta version 4.17.3 via both methods of uninstall tools, and the windows uninstall program application, then proceed and downloaded the newest version of limewire. Upon completion of the new version download it loads the new version and transfers over all the data files, and everything appears to work fine, however, once I exit and then attempt to re-start it (even though the version icon says the newest version) it loads the old beta version 4.17.3 I have done this process several times, but to no avail. can anyone offer any advice??

check the properties of your desktop shortcut, or whatever method you use to open the app. make sure the shrtct isn't targeting or pointing to the old app.

btw...

if you uninstalled the earlier version, how is loading up? it doesn't exist... (theoretically) but then, nothing is really ever deleted from windows.

also, you might want to change the location of the old app.

I tried to completely uninstall the old version but the problem still exists. When I return to the app after having exited. The older version keeps coming up.

Yes you have a gosth in your pc,but i think i can help you since i have the same problem from time to time....You can try this:
1.Uninstall the p2p apps totaly as you normaly wood do it...Check if its really remove all the files frome the location you installed it on,then open your registry editor and you find it under windows system 32...Now check this two location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER_SOFTWARE and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE,now look if you find enny registry key left from the p2p apps...If you do delete it for good! Now go to CCleaner - Home and download the latest ccleaner and install it and run the registry cleaner,then fix all the problem it finds...So restart your pc ,and try now to install the new version you wanna use and it should fix the returning of the old software problem....I hope this can help you,as it helpt me with the same **** problem!
