TruStarwarrior, you are a savior! The 118 download works, thx man! :) what is the difference of the 118 and the current one? is it the icon missing down in the Start bar???

Limewire 1.6d Shortcut Fix
 

Upon installing Limewire 1.6d and clicking on the shortcut, the application failed to load (or do anything for that matter).

Originally my shortcut was pointed to the following path:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

I was able to get Limewire to load by changing it to the following path:

C:\WINDOWS\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

It now works like a champ! I have no idea why the shortcut set up by the installer points to the wrong path... :-(

Anyway, this fix works!

Alternate version 118 uses the old version of Java (1.1.8) as opposed to the newer one (1.3.1). When LimeWire migrated to the newer Java, an incompatability arose that should be fixed in future releases.

I woulldn't be surprised if the JRE didn't install. You might want to run the 1.6d installer again or go get the JRE installer directly from Sun:

Java 2
 

I had the same problem that Limewire wouldnt start when I click on the Icon. I checked in my Add/remove Programs box for the "old" Java 2 runtime Environment 1.2.1 or whatever but I didnt even find the 1.3.1 one. The only one that I had installed was the 1.3.0 one. So i gouess you just wanna make sure that you have the newest version installed (available at http://java.sun.com/Download5). It worked for me
