having trouble installing limewire

trying to install limewire. but install locks up. after the box that asks to allow limewire past the firewall and access the internet, the box appears that says "Please wait . . . if there is no progress for several minutes, please restart the installer" and underneath "beginning download". I have to ctrl-alt-dlt and end task where it says limewire installer not responding.
I'm running win-me
512mb ram
Internet connection is Cable

You will probally have to install Limewire manually check the link below.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, that thread in the link you provided did not produce any positive results. When I did a search, there was no folder named ".limewire" in the search results.
If this helps this is the java version I have : Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_04-b05)

I just looked at what I told you where I said Lime wire it should have been Java you may need to uninstall Java and reinstall it manually. Usually java is the problem when the symptoms you described are present. After you install java manually install LimeWire. Go back to the link and follow the instructions for java in there.

tried uninstalling and reinstalling java.
Limewire still will not install.
When you say "manually install", do you mean something other than double-clicking on the LW install icon on my desktop?

Yes go back to the thread I provided earlier and download java when it ask you do you want to save or run click save. You can save it to your desk top or wherever you want,
Once you have downloaded it go to where you save it and click on it then click on run and follow the instructions. After Java installs you should be able to install LimeWire. If you have any problems just post here I will try to help but sometimes it takes me a while to get back.

So far nothing. LW still will not install.

When you tried to install Java did it install. I do not know if ME is the same as XP but go to start/controll pannel/add and remove programs and see if java is in the list.

Yes java does show up in the control panel add/remove programs list.
The java version is : Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
I appreciate your patience in trying to assist me.

Ok we are going to try one more thing uninstal 1.5 and go back to the link above and get 1.4 and manually install it. Some people have trouble with 1.5
