installing
 

When i try to install i get a message that states"unable to create bonzi shortcut" and then installation terminates. What does the message mean?

LimeWire 1.7c puts a Bonzi Buddy icon on your desktop???
 

I´m a bit worried.

I installed Limewire 1.7c today, and discovered that it apparently placed a¨"Download Bonzi Buddy FREE!!!" icon on my desktop. That seems a departure from what I had thought LimeWire´s position was on such things.

I see no mention of it here except for your post. Anyone else getting this now? It must be Limewire that did it. I know it wasn´t there before. AND the timestamp of the shortcut is the exact same for both the Limewire desktop icon and the Bonzi Buddy one.

What´s up with thi? We going to see more of this? I don´t so much mind deleting an icon, I just get a bit nervous when they don´t ask me, and don´t tell me they do it. Many of us use Limewire because it has had no spyware. So, this makes me uncomfortable about the future of my using Limewire.

Installation prob. - bonzi shortcut
 

Getting error message "unable to create bonzi shortcut", then installation aborts.

Searched my comp and found no bonzi buddy program, also nothing immediately recognisable on Add/Remove Programs in control panel.

Any ideas????

Thanks

Install Java and Limewire separately
 

Goto java.sun.com and download JRE and then download the ~600kb Limewire for java. No installation. No problems. No annoying bonzibuddy. :-)

It places that icon on your desktop, but it doesn't install it.
