ps/ i tryed the link thing at the beggining of this thread and it also didnt work.

I'm gettin the same probelm, did you find a solution?

no

i had a older version that was working fine. Every time i opened it it would ask for a update on a newer version. For some reason I said yes this time. My old downloads all vanished and I keep getting the error message saying I have an error that an existing file is already open..... has anyone given you any options? Could we try contacting Limewire? What are you doing now for downloads? Thanks

It says :


Error opening file for writing.


C:\Program Files\Limewire\GenericWindowsUtils/dll

Click Abort to Stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip the file.



When you press Ignore, the same error message comes up for files ;

C:\Program Files\Limewire\Limewire.exe
C:\Program Files\Limewire\Limewire20.dll
C:\Program Files\Limewire\Windowsv5PlusUtils.dll



Then it trys to "Unpack Jars"



This message appears.





This Installation is corrupted. Please Download and install Limewire again.






I've tryed several times to re-install.
I had limewire on my computer but I made a new desktop and it didn't carry over, so I tryed to install it on that desktop. It uninstalled Limewire from my computer and now I can't re-install!

I meet all the requirements, etc. Because I have had Limewire on this computer TODAY.

I'm not sure how to make it work!

ok so i have limewire pro and i tried to update it but for some weird reason my email wouldnt come up. It kept on saying that it couldnt be found. so i ended up downloading the basic version. after about 10 times of trying to dowload it(it kept on saying the instaler was corrupt) i finally got it going. Is there anyway possible that i can get my limewire pro back? if its a lost cause then nevermind.thanx

Depends how long ago you bought Pro... your payment covers updates for 6 months. If you bought more than 6 months ago, your email address won't be in the database anyway & you'll have to buy again to get a newer Pro.

If you did buy less than 6 months ago, from the official site (www.limewire.com) then there are links below to help. You might end up having to send a PM to rsterne

I've tried both installers, I even tried using the installer from my other pc. which is running 4.10.9 I think. I've tried doing all the things suggested but still no go. I did have a version on this comp, but I left it downloading when I went out and I came back to find it shut down and unstartable. so was my : my music folder: and windows explorer. To cut a long story short I had to have someone come and re-format the hard drive and re-install windows. which they did along with an up to date java.lost all my music though. If you can help twould be good, but I don't know scooby doo about programmin so you would to do it step by step. If it helps Ive got an IBM. p4 2.4 pross, 40gig hard with 1 gig ram. windows xp pro 2002 sevice pack 2.

Cheers....................

p.s love music, love limewire. but is it possible to inclued the file in you download?
