There are already topics on this, but LimeWire sucks and makes this so difficult...and no one have given me a complete answer.

What do I do, I'm trying to install LIMEWIRE but it says "please wait installing JAVA"...it's said that for 30 minutes!! wtf is wrong with it?
should i download java? someone put up a link to where I can download it but then there were many different links on that page and the person didn't say which one to click on.

what do i do?

Download the JRE 5.0 update 4 from this link.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

Get the one that says for offline installation, and save it to your desktop to make it easy to find. Then just double click the icon and the install wizard should open.

then when you install limewire after installing java, limewire wont attempt to install it automatically, makes it a bunch easier
