Setup error message when installing into another account on same computer!
 

My daughter has been using Limewire Basic for sometime now with no problems, I downloaded it onto my user name with no problems but another daughter wishes to download it onto her name (all same computer) but I get a setup error message when I try, which reads

Error opening file for writing
C:/program files/Limewire/genericwindowsutils.dll

if I look at the details it reads,

output folder C:/program/files/Limewire
extract: COPYING
can't write C:/program files/Limewire/genericwindow utils.dll

Not being terribly computer au fait, I just need to know, step by step how to go about rectifying this problem, thanks in advance to all those better informed than myself!!

In any case, you don't need to install the program into each account. It is possible to use shortcuts. The admin of the computer sends shortcuts to the desktop & also possibly the start menu items for each user account.

Thanks Lord of the Rings, however I don't even know how to do that!!! der....

Also, when I double click on the Limewire desk top icon I am now getting a set up error message asking me to reinstall the program, which I can't do because of the first error message...........

Uninstall from the account that it doesn't work. ie: go to Start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall.

Then go to the account LW does work in, then right-click the program & choose to create Shortcut & send to these locations of the accounts you want LW to be used in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Account name\Desktop

C:\Documents and Settings\Account name\Start Menu

I guess you could copy the shortcuts from the desktop instead & send them to the above locations. However just the desktop should suffice.

Chirst, would you believe I can't even do this!!! it says the shortcut has been changed or modified, what can I do next????

do the above....go directly to the LimeWire.exe located in C:\Program Files\LimeWire...right click on it and choose create shortcut( do this while in your account)...then copy/paste this short cut directly to C:\Documents and Settings\**daughter's account**\Desktop...then log off your account, log on to your daughter's account, and see if it works

Right, have managed to do it!!!!:yahoo:

Got there by my usual bumbling around :eek:

BIG THANKS EVERYONE:super:
