Error message cant install.
 

I have windows vista and I have downloaded lime wire lots of times with both internet explorer and Firefox and the files LimeWireWin and LimeWireWin-full but none works. When i double click them a message appears saying "windows cannot access to the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". Please help me.

See the red Stickies at the top of the Vista section of the forums. :) General Vista Support - Gnutella Forums Also look near the beginning of the Vista section.

I did a search & found this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...tml#post289927

HELP, please!!!!!
 

Ok heres the thing. yesterday i downloaded the new version of limewire and it worked fine. today the icon disappeared from down by my time and battery info bit. So i clicked on the start up icon and nothing happened. so i uninstalled limewire then tried it again installed fine but no startup. i looked in my lime wire file and there was this error message "
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005" so i figured maybe java was the problem. have uninstalled/reinstalled java and limewire all day. the java.com site verefied that i had correctly installed java, so i don't know what to do nex. I even tried downloading the 5.0 version of java incase the newerones were not compatible.

i anm not that good on computers and have exhausted my limited knowledge, can anyone help me?

ok sticky solved it
 

This problem shows up for some people after installation. You receive a Java error message saying "limewire has encountered a FATAL ERROR". The way to solve this one seems to be to change compatibility of LW to Windows 2000.
incase anyone else was where i was

Win 2000 or win NT, one or the other often fixes the issue. ;)

Hi Everyone
 

Hello Everyone, I have just joined the Limewire Forums. I would like to say Thank You to the Limewire creators because your product is a wonderful file-sharing program which I have enjoyed for a many years.

I have a little problem though, I keep getting the corrupt installation message and i dont know how to fix it. I have unistalled Limewire many times and tried to reinstall it but I keep getting the same corrupt message. Does anyone else have the same problem? I tried the link above also that too failed. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
Regards
Danielle

Are you using the online installer? The online installation can sometimes have corruption problems;) Try it this way:

First of all, install Java. Download the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions installed (via Add/Remove Programs) before you install the latest Java.
Java SE Downloads

After Java's installed, install LW. When you click to download the LW installer, cancel the dialog box which pops up...now use the option to download the offline installer.
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

If you still can't install, use the 'other' installer.
Installing using the 'other' installer

Sorry...I'm not sure which link you've tried already, there are so many in this thread!

I Need Help With Opening Up Limewire Can Someone Please Help Me

First things first !!!

Click on the LimeWire FAQ and User Guide in my signature below...

There are also many, many posts above your post with valuable links for more and more info...

Read a lot !!!
Apply tons of patience !!!
Don't be afraid to ask any and all questions here !

I've tried just about everything short of an OS reinstallation and LW still doesn't run. I've gone through my registry, deleted every installatiom, installed various version and the issue appears to happen at the same point everytime. When I install LW, I get to the extension screen and then the program just dumps. No errors, no warnings, hell not even a debug report, it just quits.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is occuring and failing that, can anyone send me a url for another piece of software that actually works?

LW hasn't run for months on my PC and I feel that this software simply isn't worth the time and effort to try and fix, but I'll give it one last go and then I'm off.

Thanks

Hello,

I can't seem to download the newest version of Limewire. I've had previous versions for years. I deleted all previous versions as well as all previous versions of Java but when I try to download Limewire, I keep getting this message:
"Cannot copy Limewire: Access Denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use"
I've tried changing the name of Limewire and putting it in a different folder but nothing seems to work.
I know my disk isn't full and the file is not in use...but i can't delete write protected programs.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

just like all the other people ive tryed every suggestion yall have thrown out there. yet still no luck. why not just make a new version to fix the corrupted file?

my installation wont work the file is currupted

No 'Next' Button
 

After downloading both the offline and back up installers i'm still having the same problem.
:bangh:
Installation seems to be going well until I get to the misc options stage. There's no 'next' or 'previous' button so I can't navigate through the installation process.
I've reinstalled several times using different download links provided, including the java download to see if that was the problem.
I'm using Windows XP. Any help?

Hi BTYLS - sorry for the delay in answering yr post -- your problem is caused by the font size -- the installation of Limewire must be done in Normal Font Size and not large -- To choose Font size in Windows XP Home, Right click on an empty part of the desktop --> choose properties --> appearance --> Font size (choose normal)
check this link out (installation probs buttons missing)

all basic downloads for limewire are corrupted!!
 

I tried this and it does not work either. It also says that the file is corrupted and to reinstall limewire again. I have been using limewire for a long time and have had no problems until today. I clicked on my icon for limewire and it said the file is corrupted. Nothing works either of the downloads.someone please HELP!!!

Try this link (limewire is corrupt) - hopefully this will fix your problem.

extremly rookie member, I can not install limeware pro and it will not install, it tells me there is an exsisting limeware program running(not true) than if I ignored this and went on the next is an error file corrupt ignored this and then it loads but when I try to run it shows corrupt files while downloading and should re download(done several times no solution) then it directs you to the support link no answers thus I am here in the forum. Help

My problem lies is that when my Limewire updated it made me go through the setup wizard and every time I went through the process of setting it up nothing happened, I was right back to going through the setup wizard once again. I un installed Limewire and re installed it once again but all to no avail. I tried to uninstall and reinstall my Java but that did not work as well. So now I am stuck with Limewire Icons and no way of getting Limewire to work. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

I am trying to get the latest update of Limewire. Version 4.16.6

I have made sure Limewire is allowed to work through my firewall but that has not worked.

Wow, im glad i joined these forums now.

I hadnt used limewire for a few months, and decided to updat my mp3. It uninstalled my old version, but i kept being told a file was corrupted for installing the new version.

So i was left with no limewire.

But, luckily i found these forums, and saw this thread about the back up.

Thanks to the OP for setting up this thread :o)

Important For Vista Users!!!!

Having problems downloading
 

Hi, I have tried to download lime wire and it keep telling me that the installation is corrupted and to please download and install the limewire again.
I tried to install it numerous times and it kept telling me the same thing.

I tried disabeling the fire wall to see if I can download limewire and still tells me that the istallation is corructed.

I deleted updater to see if I can download the limewire and still no luck.
Can someone please help, Thanks. Angel:)

Your font must be in normal font when you install Limewire -- check that your font is in normal font and not large font.size.
In Windows XP Home, right click on an empty part of Desktop, choose Properties, Appearance, Font size. Choose Normal.

If your problem still remains -- in Limewire Links (below) click on (system details) and fill in as much as you can and post back here
