setup error

I have the following Java's report that constantly appears before LimeWire setup:
"One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again. If the problem persists please visit Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent « and click the 'Support' link

I reinstalled LimeWire but it happened nothing. The report keeps appearing. How can I correct it? I appreciate any help!

Problems re: installing AND uninstalling LimeWire are endemic for now...

Your problem is possibly a combination of problems with your Java installation AND LimeWire...

Sorry to do this to you, but try here > http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...-problems.html

It's a sort of mega-help links page from our dear leader !

You are not alone with your problem and for sure you will be able to get it straightened out here !

Be sure to search around here in GF for the many, many other posts on these subjects...

Last... If you get fed up try Phex
or
The BEST BearShare

Phex is Java based
BearShare is Windows

Yes... I am promoting the use of alternative Gnutella clients.
