Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7.

Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Installation failed - "run post flight script" Tried to install Limewire 5 as downloaded with the package from Gnutella forum. By package I mean the Connect & Security & Limestart etc. I am running a MacBook Pro with OSX10.8.3 Run the installation and it fails at the end where the following text appears in the box: The Following installation step failed: run postflight script for Limewire. Contact the software manufacturer for assistanceDoes anybody have an idea what I need to do to work around this? Thanks V1S1G0TH  |

| I presume you mean the error occurs at the LW installation process and not the Security installer step? Does it actually install? I do not have OSX 10.8 (still 10.6) so I am not sure if the original LW installer has any issue with OSX 10.8. Post-Flight would normally refer to the very last step of installation (probably after the app itself has been installed.) This may refer to a user profile or Java path linking. If Java is not installed then a problem would occur. I do know OSX 10.8 is not packaged with Java. You will first need to install Java for OSX 10.7 or later before installing LW. Let us know how things go. |

| Have you checked the Applications folder to see if LW is installed and if it is possible to launch it? If it will not launch, try a safe boot before reinstalling. ie: Hold the Shift-Key down as you are booting up. (I think MacBooks can be safe-booted.) A safe-boot often takes longer than a standard boot. Which version of LW 5 are you installing? Chances are I can probably host a ready installed package. To my knowledge, LW is no different to most other program packages, all is inclusive within the program package itself except for user settings. LW does not depend on plug-ins, shared libraries, etc. outside of the program package to my knowledge. Only external dependency is a Java environment. Edit: I reinstalled LPE. The only file in the program package to show a change of date is the LimeWire.jar file. Other than this, there is a Install LimeWire.pkg file installed into the Receipts folder of the system's Library folder and install listing noted for program identification in InstallHistory.plist in same folder. In your case the script must have failed achieving one of these functions. |

| Just thought it was worth a shot to see if you could reinstall LW during a safe boot. Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? I've just got a hold of 10.8 and will install on a virtual drive when I get time to see if I have the same issue. |

| OK here's my first experience with Mountain Lion 10.8.3. I installed Java 7. Upon trying to install LW (LPE) it gave a message that it needed Java 6 environment and immediately gave me the option to download and install Java 6. I then continued with the LW installation and all went well. I immediately closed LW, installed the security and opened LW and it connected within about 20 seconds. Do you have Java 6 installed? It seems LW on MacOSX suffers same issue as Windows and some Linux systems in that it will not run directly with Java 7. Get a hold of Java 6 and see if that makes a difference. The version it installed for me was Java 1.6.0_45 ... since Oracle took over the Java site it has become an incredibly difficult site to navigate and find anything specific on. I found this answer via a google group discussion: ie: some other apps also do not run under Java 1.7. About Java for OS X 2013-003 or a zipped file download link is Java for OS X 2013-003 (Java 1.6.0_45 update for OSX 10.7 or later.) Edit: Safe-boot will turn off all but the most necessary system extensions and disable some support files. Safe-boot can be useful for repairing issues or analysing problems to see if there is a conflict of software, etc. Normally you would not install items after a safe-boot. You will need to change system settings re: default security for OSX 10.8: sample image. Perhaps the original script was only set to run in 32-bit I don't know. But you could set the installer to run in 32-bit mode via the installer's information window. 32-bit setting sample image |
