System administrator Im using Win XP & ATT Yahoo. Trying to install on the other users on system. Get err mess that says they are not sys admin & need to go back & install as sys admin or power user. HUH? & do I have to do each member seperate or can download to all at once? |
tried that. Still get same mess. Tells me install complete, hit run button, select language then get the LW set up screen. Push next to install & thats when I get mess |

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??? |
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 |

Have you been using Java 1.6.0_02 for a while? Some people have had trouble with that version. Try this older Java instead.

I recently purchased a new laptop that has windows vista. I have been trying to install limewire for days now, and I continue to get the "the installation is corrupted please download and install again" message. I've tried multiple times and nothing seems to work! I've read almost every page of this thread, trying all the tips people have posted and still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated. |
Upgrade to newer version - now PRO gone?? Can someone help!! I had PRO 4.12 and I upgraded to the 4.14 but PRO is gone. Do I have to pay again to upgrade to PRO since I downloaded the newer version???? Thanks for your help on this!! Much appreciated.:gimmimore: |
oy - have tired all day to open LW Hello all. Looking for some help. I have downloaded the JRE java offline, and downloaded LW basic offline. When the LW set up dialog box pops up I choose English... then it stops at Firewall Set Up and there are no next buttons. It just freezes up and shows LW 12% HTML loading. And that's all I get. I've installed and reinstalled 3 times. I tried to find the LW preferences but it's not showing up in my docs and settings. Any ideas? |
See if this post helps with the missing buttons. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/230100-post7.html Which version of Java are you using? The preferences folder's hidden by default...see here for how to show hidden files & folders in Vista. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html Fixes for LimeWire when LW isn't operating as it should Did the installation actually finish?? Unless LW's properly installed, I'm not sure that you'll have a preferences folder. |
i used the above link and it says THE INSTALLER THAT U ARE TRYING TO USE IS CORRUPTED OR INCOMPLETE THIS COULD BE A RESULT OF A DAMAGED DISK A FAILED DOWNLOAD OR A VIRUS YOU MAY WANT TO CONTACT THE AUTHOR OF THE INSTALLER TO OBTAIN A NEW COPY what do i do????????? |
Which link did you use? Were you trying to download a Java or LimeWire installer? |
The help that worked Thank you so much Birdy!! All I had to do was change the font size. You are :super: Quote:

Sounds like you have a worm. Try this fix, it's worked for a lot of people. The easy fix for Limewire popping up every few seconds (try this first) If that doesn't help, there are links to help sites below Spyware Warrior :: Index CastleCops® » Security Forums SpywareInfo Forum FAQ - SWI Forums Always make sure that you're using a good AV program. Keep it updated & use it to scan files that you've downloaded before you open them. |

Java is having problems installing on my computer and therefore Limewire won't run - what should I do?! The usual error message reads "dll runtime error"for java. Please advise : ) |
Try uninstalling and deleting all versions of java from your Add or Remove Programs Control Panel. Then Then d/load and install the current version using the offline installer: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 2 If that fails, uninstall and try: Java Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 12, use the offline installer. |

Try opening your task manager(Ctrl+Alt+Delete), and see if it's listed under Processes. If it is, right click on it and end the process. Then try reinstalling. The proper way to uninstall LW is by going to C:\Program Files\LimeWire\Uninstall.exe. Double click Uninstall.exe. Don't go through the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel. Where you having any problems with it that made you want to uninstall it, like it opening up on it's own? If so, that's caused by a virus. See: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...tml#post288817 |

tried link ... still blank tried to update from site. downloaded and installed. go to launch program and get limewire setup dialog box but it is blank. have not been able to get past this. any and all suggestions greatly appreciated. thanks |
I had a pretty up to date version of Limewire Pro...4.14 or so...all paid for and working just fine...but I too succumbed to the update nagger.. and I had the same thing happen...lost all my downloads, everything in my library ..I went through the same as you with error messages.. I finally downloaded an earlier version of pro.. 4.12.6..but what I finally got was NOT the PRO version 4.14.10 When I tried to log in to upgrade through Limewire, I get a message telling my e mail address doesn't exist. I only ever use two and I tried both and both were rejected. I feel a little ripped off because now I will have to PAY for a new Limewire Pro unless I can somehow retrieve my information from Limewire. They seem unreachable and untouchable. |
This update thingy is causing havoc for lots of people at the moment. We don't work for LW & can't explain why these update prompts have suddenly started. You may or may not be able to redownload Pro, depending on when you bought the app & who you bought it from. Read the post below & see if that makes things any clearer. ATTENTION: LW Pro users!! Update info!! You could try posting at this other forum & see if any of the LW developers can shed some light on the situation. LimeWire Forums - Powered by vBulletin If you lost everything in your library, I'd say that your saved folder had been changed from the default location. By default, Windows users' files are saved to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Shared. This is a safe location & saved files won't be effected if LW is removed;) If people aren't careful with where they save to (eg saving to somewhere within LW's program files) then they stand the chance of losing their files if LW's removed. |
Errrrrr :lmao:HI THERE I CANNOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL LW. WHEN I DO, IT WILL NOT OPEN. I HAD IT A WEEK AGO, NOW I DONT. I GO TO "ADD AND REMOVE PROGRAMS" BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP. I AM GOING CRAZY HERE., COULD SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS IN ADVANCE JMAC |
Try uninstalling limewire via Start > All programs > Limewire/Uninstaller.. Don't use the Add/Remove programs to do this....

trouble i keep on getting this pop-up when i click on limewire that says one or more necessary files appear to be invalid and it tells me to copy report |
I'm having the same problem that "Is this name taken" is having except I have never been able to get limewire and I have had my computer for about 4 years. I asked my 18 year old nephew to help me today and he could not get it either. Please help me. I think that I need to tell you that I don't now anything about computers and would need to be guilded thru everything. Do I take firewall off and etc.... these are the things that I don't understand. Also where do I get the answers to my questions? Why is this so hard? Thank You |

I did dowload LW when I first got my computer but when I tried todownload a song it said that "there was not enough source", I really didn't know what that meant so I didn't know what to do. I think that I thought that I just couldn't get it. I did delete the icon from the Add/Remove program but after reading "Wondering Why" thread I guess I should not have done that. I tried to download LW after I deleted the icon but it still says that I appear to have a older version running. |
Open Task Manager (ctrl/alt/del). Click on the Processes tab & see if there's a LW process running. If there is, end the process. Now use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name. Delete what you find. Now try to reinstall LW. Download the LW offline installer. When you click to download & a dialog box pops up, cancel it. Now use the option to download the offline installer;) Lime Wire » Download LimeWire |
Limewire Pro not running I just purchased Pro 4.14.12. Initially, the software loads after installation. But after I shut down limewire and re-open it. I get the regular version back(4.14.10). The only way I get pro is to keep re-installing it. Why is this?? |
What in the world does corrupted mean when L/W is being downloaded? PLEAS SOMEONE TELL ME. WHAT IS IT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE? |
