|      Had Limewire Pro and the computer froze, after rebooting no longer worked.      Removed all Limewire from computer re-downloaded and keep receiving this error. When I tried to re-install just Limewire Pro basic receive the following error: While trying to start the next step of the installer, an error occurred, Could not find file “InstallAnywhere Installer”. This is on a G3 MAC OS 9.22 Thanks for any help you can provide.  |

|      Make sure you have the most recent version of Java (LW runs on Java.) This might be part of your problem. Also go to LW's info window (select LW & CMD+I) & increase the max RAM allocation 2-3 (or more) times depending upon how much ram you have. As for the installer, update your Java 1st & try again. From memory, the installer opens up onto the desktop, use 'that' one. Also, in OS9 it's wise to rebuild your desktop after installing/uninst'ing apps (easy way is to hold down CMD+Option keys as you restart your computer). Also use your utilities to defragment & check for errors that always seem to occur along the way.      Last edited by Lord of the Rings; July 21st, 2004 at 03:29 PM.  |

|      Hmm interesting. Delete all traces of Limewire. That includes going to the prefs folder & deleting .limewire & any other LW folders you can find around your HDD. For OS 9.2.2 I presume u have MRJ 2.2.6 for OS 9.2.2 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120209 & not Java 2.2.5 right? After deleting everything, install again, restart your computer whilst rebuilding your desktop & see how that goes. Also see this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27981        |

|      I am having the same issue...  I have done everything suggested in this and the OS 9.2.1 thread with no luck.  I have deleted all Limewire traces, ran disk doctor (no errors found), de-fragged and optimized, turned off all non apple extensions, updated Java, rebuilt the desktop, increased ram for Limewire and I still run into the exact same problem:  "installanywhere installer cannot be found, contact software vendor."  I even went so far as to re-install OS 9.2.2 and see what happens...  same result.  Then I went through all the above again AFTER re-install of OS 9.2.2 and nothing has changed.  What should I try next?        |
