I have the exact same problem. LimeWire crapped out while trying to upgrade to 4.6.

I have:

Uninstalled
deleted .limewire folder
Updated Java to 1.5
set javaw.exe and limewire.exe to full access in firewall
Made sure port 6346 was forwarded to computer running limewire

None of this has helped. It still hangs up there. I cannot even kill the task or restart computer. I have to reset the computer manually.

I have had the same problems. I've tried as many 'solutions' in this forum that I can find. NONE have worked. Limewire was working just fine until I tried upgrading to the POC version 4.6.0. I'm almost ready to jump off a bridge here. Argh!

I don't quite understand the 1st post, it doesn't seem to ask anything. I unticked that option for myself. I don't want LW to open everytime I start the computer (I think that's what it's asking but could be wrong.) In any case, you can always go back & change the option later under both Tools>Options>Connection & Tools>Options>Advanced>System Startup

If you still have problems then there is an alternative installer I think. You just unzip it & use it. See Here about other version. http://www.limewire.com/english/cont...loadfree.shtml

Still wont work. this is so annoying i think its got something to do with the firewall maybe? when i click next what is the next thing i should be seeing?

When you say "LimeWire crapped out", what do you mean? What exactly does LimeWire do?

Oh, nevermind -- misread the first post.

Can you download LimeWireDebug.exe from here and place it in your C:\Program Files\LimeWire directory. Then start LimeWire by double-clicking on that. What does it say on the DOS-box when LimeWire closes?

(If the box closes too quickly, start it by going to Start -> Run, and type "cmd", then type: "cd C:\Program Files\LimeWire", and finally type "LimeWireDebug.exe".)

What firewalls & antivirus & antispy, etc utilities do you have?

That window I thought was the 1st of setting up your preferences. Is this the 1st time you've used LW?

I'm about to try out the new version but it could take a while. If I don't get that window then I'll need to delete my prefs & re-install, etc.

Oh I didn't see SBerlin's post there.

I installed LW 4.8 without issue. Admittently I rebooted after shutting down the previous version of LW before installing. I also delted preferences. You are apparently just half way thru setting up your option settings for LW after the installation. There's still another window of options (re: firewalls) & then the finish window see below: (I wonder if it has something to do with your firewall & anti-virus settings, etc.)
