Get the "Offline" Java installer for version 1.5 (JRE). See point 1 here Fixes for Limewire. Install Java before you install LW. This is better for those having problems when they get to the online Java installation step of installing LW.

OKay, So i've been reading the files here but i haven't found an answer to my own problem.

Every time that i try and download limewire, it takes a little while, i think it may be stalling, then it comes up and and i click download and put it on my desktop where i can easily locate it, and it downloads FAR to quickly for it to be legit, then when i try and open to install it tells me that it is corupt.

Yes, i have tried both the recomended and offline version and both do exactly the same thing. I am uncertain as to what i need to do. So far as i know i've the latest update in java as i've updated just a few days ago. I haven't the slightest clue what to do, but i can say that it is vastly frustrating and aggrivating since i really wanted to use limewire for myself and it came highly reccomended from a dear friend of mine.

If anyone knows how to support me with these problems, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Much thanks,

sachiaiko,

If you have the latest version of java then you should be ok to download. Are you getting Limewire from the offical site? It shouldn't be corrupt if you are dling it from the main site.

Remove that version you got, delete all the leftover LW folders, then start again from the official site to download the program.

You are trying to download the basic version correct? Dont keep reinstalling the version you got because it could have been corrupt. Delete it and startover with a new install.

Edited to add: Let the install be placed in a downloads folder in your c drive. That way, you'll be able to find it.

hello people.. ive been using LimeWire for a while now and its great. i have 1,000+ songs downloaded..
the other day i clicked on the link at the bottom of my LimeWire that said "New Version Availible. Update?" .. so i clicked on it to update from my old version.. right.. and i go to install it and it says the i have to exit an already open LimeWire program.. so i exited it... and then i was installing it but then it said "this installation is corropted please download it again) and so then i tired downloading it again.. and again.. and deleted my old LimWire files and whatnot.. and then i tried opening LW from my desktop.. and it said "there are un nessasary files or limewire installed" .. or somehting like that and it gave me the options of "copy report" or "ok" and i clicked ok and nothing happened.. and i couldnt open the program anymore.
i also tried the link at the beginning of this thread and the exact same thing happened.. it keeps saying "this installation is corropted" .. it sadens me because i loved LimeWire and i downloaded alot of songs to put on my mp3 player.. and now i cant use it at allll.

so basically.. im having the same problem as the user "is this username taken?" and a few others i can see. does ANYONE have a solution to this problem?? PLEASE POST ASAP. i want to start using LimeWire again!! lol.. or if anyone has another free downloading program like this one.. let us know. IT IS GREATLY APPRETICATED.

kbye!

ps- PLEASEEE SOMEONE HELP MEEEEEE!

( )

OMGSH.
forget about that wholeeeeeee thing i just posted up there.
i just got it to work! and i have no idea how so dont ask me!
lol.. sry.
but yeah i just clicked on the limewire icon that was in my limewire folders and stuff and idk it downloaded it and im not having that problem anymore.
its the new version and everything! XD
kbye.

wow i cant get over the fact that i just typed that entire thing up there.. and then i click on one random icon that was like lost in all my limewire stuff.. and its like BAM! .. working.. and its the new version.

haha -- hilarious!

ok bye now.

This is so sad... at least it is for me. I'm not sure if it's even Limewire's fault!

You see... my computer went trough a whole recovery so I have none of my old files, and almost none of my old programs.

Of course, Limewire was completely erased, but when I'm trying to install it, a messege that says:

"Internet Explorer cannot download LimeWireWin. exe from www.9limewire.com.

Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
Please try again later."


But I keep trying again later, and it DOES NOT WORK!!! But the thing is, a messege similar to this shows for all the programs I'm trying to redownload, so it might just be my computer. But I still have no idea how to fix it! Somebody... Please.... HELP!!!

The link below will take you there.

I'm trying to install Limewire on my wife's computer. I gets to the "loading Java" part & stays there.
I've uninstalled Java & the old LW. Then reinstalled Java from the offline installer as mentioned earlier. I then tried to install LW from the off line install links mentioned above, but the same issue w/ the "loading Java" thing.
I even went to the regedit & removed Java. One question with that though, should I have removed "Java soft" also? That I did not do.
Any other suggestions would greatly be appreciated. My wife is now trying to monopolize my computer, which runs LW no problem.
Thanks in advance!
Ron

Got it working finally.
Thanks all!
