This is thanks to rtp. I just did a copy and paste from his post. It may help with your problem.

I have found a qucik fix to this problem upon freezing upon fianlizing the install of the pro version.

Upon installation it freezes at the unpack 2000.exe or just stops at finalization try this.

Leave the program where it freezes at with the 2 boxes up telling you it is finalizing. Now hit control + alt + delete and bring up the task manager. Now very carefully locate all instances of any temp files being listed one by one and end process on those .... these are temp files that are being created each time the process is ended on each one. Now note everytime you end process on each one of the temp files the meter on the install process box goes up .... keep doing this process until the installation is complete.

NOTE: The temp files I am speaking of have numbers in front of the temp file EXAMPLE: ns41.temp, ns.temp of any kind or any temp file.

Seems as though the program for some reason is creating these temp files and this is jamming it or stalling it.

Hope this helps everyone with this.

Oh and before I found this out I downloaded the version 4.4.1

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Oh and for the price of this fix I am adding a signature link to this forum and respect that it be left here in tact.

Kdogg did you try the suggestions from earlier in the thread? The 'Other' LW might do the trick.

Try downloading the new Limewire. http://www.limewire.com
It says it is 4.6.0, but it is actually 4.8.0. If you download it, the Icon on your desktop will change from 4.6 to 4.8......
thats really all I can do to help

Greetings kdogg

Try deleting LW again. After you do this use windows explorer and make sure all instances of LimeWire have been removed from your machine. If you find anything asscociated with LimeWire delete it.

After you have done this run a registry cleaner. If you don't have one there is a link to one here.

I think you may have something messed up in your registry, preventing it from installing.

After doing that try and install LimeWire again.

Keep us posted, and best of luck

If some of the folks having the 'freezes during finishing installation' problem can contact me at sberlin@limepeer.com , we're going to try and figure out once and for all what's causing this.

Thanks.
