I went to use the old version of Limewire and got a message that the program/file was corrupt and to reinstall the software.
So I did and received the same message as the one quoted above.
I read all the posts in this thread and I have tried several of the suggestions but nothing has worked.
I deleted and reinstalled Java and Limewire as suggested previously but still no luck, just the darn message.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So you're not getting the corrupted installation message anymore but you're getting the 'save folder not valid' message?

Try deleting LW's preferences folder. Just make sure that LW's properly closed first. See points 2 & 3 in the thread below
Fixes for LimeWire

Thanks Birdy I revisited the thread link you provided and deleted the Limewire preferences folder in the C:/Documents And Settings file as instructed.
That did the trick.
My mistake was that I assumed (we all know what they say about assuming) that since I had uninstalled the previous Limewire installations that everything was gone. W R O N G!

Birdy, thank you again. Your assistence and direction is greatly appreciated.

You're welcome
Enjoy LW!

I have installed this program at office and all was perfect.
But at house it seems it doesn't really want to work!!
WHY??
i have tried the recommended download..
then the other..
then beta version..
I have tried to install it in a different partition but nothing changed!!!

THE PROBLEM:
after download
after installing
when I want it to open..
..it doesn't open!!
there is a window asking "option language" but the content is all grey!!
there's nothing in it
it is frozen.
I just can close it

I have tried it all.. what else can I do??

After installing the Setup dialog is in another language. It will not go any farther than this screen.

Hi,

After serving me well for many months, my current Limewire stopped working. I went into Add/Delete programs and deleted it, then downloaded the newest version.

My problem in installation occurs when it hits the Java part. I keep getting the error message "Error 1324 The Path My Pictures contains an invalid character."

What does this mean, and how can I fix it? I've tried unloading and reloading Java to no avail - the error message pops up everytime, and my installation remains incomplete.

Thank you for any assistance!

sry for double posting but it works great now thx!

I recently reloaded Windows XP and a am trying to set my computer back up like it was before. When I try to install Limewire, the top row of green bars stop on "Downloading unpacked Jars.7z" and the bottom row finishes and give me an error message that says "This install is corrupt, please reinstall limewire and try again. I uploaded the most recent version of Java and still no luck. Is there something in the settings on my computer that is preventing it? I had no problems the first time I installed it. Thanks for any help.
