I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling again, but it doesn't fix the problem. Please help?

I've been using limewire on windows XP and it works great. I love limewire, and it would be a shame to have to find a new program just because i can't install limewire on windows Vista.

Please help me. Thank you very much.
If you haven't fixed your "splittet files" problem -- go to this link and try this fix: http://forum.limewire.org/showthread.php?p=18323
Hope this helps

Hello. Well I have good news and bad news. The good news is that with this fix that Skyliner showed me, I don't get the "splittet files" message anymore, and limewire finally installs.

The bad news and the problem now is that when I try to run Limewire I get the message shown in the picture below.

So, I finally installed it, but I still can't even run LW. Any other suggestions?

Thank you very much.

you're probably better off uninstalling version 5 and installing 4.18.8 from here -- when you uninstall go to start --> all programs -->limewire -> uninstall (windows XP SP3)

Default I hate Vista

I hate Vista. Never had a problem with LW until getting a new computer with Vista. The LW upgrade worked well enough, but at the bottom of the screen it takes a long time trying to connect and then shows a "no connectivity icon'. Even turning off my firewall and makiing LW an approved site didn't work. Anyone familiar with this issue?

Grandpa,
I tried the full installer. I have Windows Vista and had Limewire.4.18.1. I tried to do the upgrade install and it got as far as deleting some of the older versions files. Then when I double click on the install, give it English as my language and click install (after it shows me where it is going to install) it starts to run and then says error reading limewire.exe. My options are to abort, retry or cancel. I tried retry, it just goes back to error. I tried cancel once and then I got another error on another file so of course abort takes me out...I cleared my dowload file and my temp file and tried the link provided by you. Same errors....help please Also I tried to go back to my original Limewire, but it says it is missing files (naturally, as they were deleted.) What next?
THanks
WGodsvd

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html Use that version of LW installer, or for 4.18 get this one Get LimeWire for Your Platform - Lime Wire
For Vista, run the installer set as Admin after right-clicking the installer.

Question I need some help too! :)

This is actually for my Grandfather. He/we bought and purchased Limewire PRO after his one year subscription was up. It worked well for about 2 months... new operating system look and everything. Now we can't open it. It gives us the same error message repeatedly. "Limewire couldn't open" then it goes on to tell us that there must have been a problem with installation. I've uninstalled and reinstalled until I'm blue in the face. All I want to do is call someone to walk me through the reinstall... or tell me what the issue is, but I can't find a number to call. Any suggestions? Should I jsut give up? That would be $40 down the toilet for my grandfather... and I would HATE that.

Please advise.

Thank you.

New operating system? Vista or ... ? Here's things to try.

1. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html but use your offline installer if you have one. Pro is always an offline installer. Also, before installing: delete the LW preferences folder; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post183932.

2. If using Vista, set the installer to run as Administrator. After installing, set the LW program to run as administrator. Do each by right-clicking the file & choose Run as Admin.
