installing Limewire 2.4.4 with JRE 1.4 I downloaded JRE1.4 to receive a faster version of Limewire but when I then try to install Limewire (2.4.4) it tells me that it does not detect JRE 1.3 and prompts me to then download that file. I would rather use the fastest software available and I don't want to wait around for JRE 1.3 to download if I don't have to. Do I need to download a different version of Limewire? Is there a way to direct Limewire 2.4.4 to utilize the JRE that I already downloaded (I did download and install it prior to Limewire)? |

Agreed--the installer doesn't recognize JRE 1.4. Nevertheless, it must be allowed to install 1.31 for the installation to complete. Let it install 1.31, and be sure to decline the option for it to update your browser. You want your I.E. Explorer/Netscape to keep the 1.41 version. Next--go to your Add/Remove Programs Panel, and uninstall JRE 1.31. Of course, when you go to start Limewire, it won't find the path. After a few moments, it will auto-detect the path for JRE 1.41. Select the autofix option and Limewire will open. A pain in the ***, but this is the only way to install it and use the program with JRE 1.41 Mike : ) |

Cannot Install with JRE 1.31_4 either I'm a little confused...... The current version 2.43 wants to install with JRE 1.31 but the install will proceed with JRE 1.41. I read the post earlier and so I installed 1.31_4 (the only 1.31 version I could find). Well, that doesn't work either. The program does not seem to recognize any version of JRE. How do you install this program? |

Hello, You're right, the current version of the LimeWire installer doesn't like the new JAVA too well. Here is a workaround that should allow you to install until the new version of LimeWire comes out. 1) Uninstall any versions of LimeWire on your computer. 2) Download and install Java 1.4 in the default directory 3) Install LimeWire and say yes if it wants to install java 1.3 4) Go to any shortcut you plan to use for LimeWire, right click on it and open the properties menu. 5) Highlight the contents of the field labeled target and delete it. 6) Replace what you just deleted with: "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_01\bin\javaw.exe" -Xss64k -Xms4m -Xminf0.10 -Xmaxf0.25 -jar RunLime.jar 7) Done. Java 1.3 can now be uninstalled. You can test that the upgrade was successful by opening up LimeWire and checking to see that the scroll wheel on your wheelmouse is now functional in within the LimeWire client. Good Luck, and please let me know if this doesn't work, or if you find the directions unclear, Avi Lime Wire LLC Last edited by ajutagir; June 30th, 2002 at 10:16 AM. |

Donīt pay for it. itīs not worth. |

Good news! This problem has been resolved in version 2.5.0. This version is now undergoing Beta testing. If you are interested in being a beta tester please see Adam Fisk's post regarding this in the LimeWire Beta forum. Avi Last edited by ajutagir; July 5th, 2002 at 12:09 PM. |

java I am trying to set up Limewire so that it is usable. I had a 1.4 version and tried to upgrade and am running into the Java issues. However, I tried to follow your recommendations and download Java 1.4 to the directory. Where can I find this? ALso, I followed the advise on the download faqs page and they did not work. That is, the deleting from the programs, etc. Can you help...? Thank you! |
