alright, here is my problem/story:
i had like limewire 4.8 or something up for like 6+ months maybe, up until like an hour or two ago. i was downloading a movie clip, and it put it in a folder called"LimeWire" in Program files. previously it had been sending all of downloads into a folder called "Shared" and i had liked that. then i got kind of angry when it wouldnt let me put new downloads into the original folder. so i went and un-installed(in my frustration) my LimeWire. then i went to the lime wire site and downloaded the zip for the latest limewire. when i went to install it, it gave me a message saying that i had an older version of limewire running, and to close those. but i had uninstalled it? it said it might be an icon in the tray thing at the bottom of the screen iwth things like the sound, and battery life. but there was not a lime in there. so i went and deleted old limwire folders and tryied again. no dice. didnt work. same message. so i tryed clicking "ignore"(it gave me options"abort""retry""ignore") until it was done installing. then it said it didnt install correct and to try again. didnt work. then i took my anger out in MS Paint and made random lines. thats about when i went to the limewire site which lead me here.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

Try this: Install Java first. Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions already installed (via Add/Remove Programs) before you install the latest update.
Java SE Downloads

Then install LW & use this link:http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe

i tried to upgrade to 4.18 from 4.16 and it started extracting then said error, failed to write. I tried your suggestion with same results, what can be done? I think there are still some old limewire files on my computer but there is no sign of limewire anywhere.

Default Thanks for the info

I panicked for a moment when updating to 4.18. Had to restart computer. Ran back-up install. Got error message again. Retried and it went through.

1. Add/Remove control panel & remove all previous Java versions.

2. Start menu -> Programs -> LimeWire -> Uninstall.

3. Run this utility: Crap Cleaner

4. Reinstall java using only the OFFLINE java version installer: Download Java software from Sun Microsystems

5. Might be wise to delete the previous LW prefs folder:
Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.)
VISTA users see: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

6. Install LW using this version: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe (Edit: (this link is presently dead for a time, try instead:) This post by Birdy)

Here's my problem, I try to install LW 4.18.3 but I get this error:"Error! Can't initialize plug-ins directory, Please try again later."

I can give more info as needed, I was just wondering if there have been others with this problem that have been successful in fixing it.

If anyone can assist me I would be most grateful. Thank you.

Did you try the suggestion steps from my previous post #377 above. It may or may not work, but is worth trying.
