Try clicking on one of your files in your LW library and clicking explore...

If that doesn't help try uninstalling your preference folder...

Make sure you are your computers administrator...If you are try this...

Try uninstalling your Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Then uninstall Limewire using the uninstaller which is found in start > all programs > limewire...then re-install it using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

Unhappy

okay i'm having some trouble with limewire. at the college that i'm going to next year they recommended that we get the labtops through the college so that we get all the support we want, free upgrades, etc. what i came to find out during my orientation was that at my school we can download limewire, so i figured i would just do it at home. i've tried and tried to get it to download but as soon as it starts installing i get an installation error, saying that the installation failed and it stops in mid process. then my new labtop says to install it using their recommended process, but it just does the same thing. so i don't know if it's my computer or if it has something to do with my college blocking me from downloading it

can anyone help, pleaseeeee???

Default I can't install: Limewire cannot create uninstall information

Hi,

I have tried to install several times and I keep getting:

" Limewire cannot create uninstall information. Installation will now exit. Restarting your computer can often fix this."

I tried restarting with no success.

What can I do?

BTW, it's the free version and before I had it installed but for some reason the uninstaller was not present. I had to delete it manually.

Thanks,

Juan Dent
