Installation problem: during the installation an error box pops up, "Could not open input file for splittet files"
 

I go to install Limewire and everything seems to be going well, but during the installation an error box pops up and it says, "Could not open input file for splittet files." I have no idea what that means. I have Mozilla Firefox internet, Java installed(as requested), Windows Vista. Please help.

1. Try this technique http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html. For Vista, you need to right-click installer & choose Run as Administrator. And do the same with the LW shortcut after installing. :)

2. Also try installing into a different location, unless that's inconvenient. ;)

downloard problems
 

hello. this is my first post :) I have Kaspery and I think my computer is 64 (instead of 32). I am experiencing the same splittet problem and was wondering if anyone had any idea how to have Kaspery and limewire. thank you!!

Kaspery? Do you mean Kaspersky security? If answer is yes, disable Windows firewall & add LW to the Kaspersky firewall exceptions under Filtration rules .. make a sub-rule for each of TCP & UDP. ;)

For installing LW, follow my advice in my previous post above. ;)

Thanks, but it didn't work.

Thanks for all the help, but my mom came home and got it to work. haha. After all im only 15, somethin about the Kaspersky blockin it...oh well. :)

I have the same antivirus and am unableto download lw beccaues of a splittet file could you help.thank you

I also have the splittet problem & I'm not 15. That's closer to the number of years I've been on the internet. I have Kaspersky & limewire is allowed in the exceptions. I have Vista, Java 1.6, & I've been trying to update to LW5 all day & night. It seems no matter what I do it keeps stopping at the "splittet" error. Here's what comes up when I click details after getting the error:

Extract: torrent.dll... 100%
Output Folder: C:\Program Files\LimeWire\root
Output Folder: C:\Program Files\LimeWire\root\magnet10
Extract: badge.img... 100%
Extract: canHandle.img... 100%
Extract: limewire.gif
Extract: options.js... 100%
Extract: silentdetect.js... 100%
Output Folder: C:\Program Files\LimeWire

Does anyone have any ideas? I've already deleted preferences.

Have you tried right-clicking the installer, choose Run as Administrator, Then when asked where to install, choosing a different location rather than the default. Perhaps create a custom folder within program folder & calling it Limewire 5.2 & install there, or even installing it to a different partition.

I tried moving it out of C and under my name below desktop, still the same problem. Any more suggestions? I would like to get updated, especially since I've deleted everything in my quest.

If you've tried everything in the links in the two posts above, then ... go to Start menu -> All Programs -> LW -> Uninstall ... if that option is there. In any case, run CCleaner again.

Then get this version described here & follow the instructions: Download ‘Other’ version & simply unzip & use!. The link is now called Other Systems (OS/2, Solaris, Linux) from here Get LimeWire for Your Platform - Lime Wire

Success!
 

Yes!, Thank ya Lord :):D

Can someone tell me how to disable the Dangerous download cancelled
feature in Limewire Basic?
Thanks.

disabling dangerous downloads
 

tools, options, 1st configure button will bring up the choices you seek, though I don't know why you'd seek them. Careful, lotsa viruses out there.:w00t:

Thanks, I have security/Virus software already installed on my Computer
So i should be fine. I downloaded files on my old Cpu years ago with the old limewire basic and no security software installed and never had any problems.
Anyways,Thanks cause i've lost like 10-20 300MB video downloads already
because Limewire would wait for them to finish downloading then erase them...
Thanks Bro.

In future, please create a new thread with your own topic. The topic of this thread has nothing what so ever to do with your question. Or do you have the problem of "Could not open input file for splittet files"?
