I Can't uninstall limewire
 
I was uninstalling limewire but it came out this:

{the installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the result of a damaged disk, a failed download or virus.

you may want to contact the author of this installer to obtain a new copy.

It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED).}


Please help me on how to uninstall limewire. Hope u could understand the details here. :aweof:

The normal ways to uninstall LW are 1. Start menu > Programs > LW > Uninstall. 2. Go to program folder & find uninstaller. 3. Reinstall LW, as at the beginning of installation it will uninstall the previous installation.

However, if you attempted to uninstall LW via the add/remove control panel, then you will get yourself into all types of problems. LW is not designed to be uninstalled that way & hasn't been for about 2 years.

I'm still can't uninstall limewire. The message keep popping up. Can I get a new copy?

Did you try to reinstall it yet? Go ahead and install it completely (even if it
complains it couldn't uninstall the old copy) and then after it is done you should
be able to uninstall it.

In order to uninstall any program such as Limewire the registry keys created or altered by Limewire must also be deleted. Some of these keys may not have Limewire in their file name.
Can anyone supply a list of all the registry keys for all versions of Limewire, especially the most recent?
[BitTorrent, which I have also had uninstallation problems with, has a support site, btforums I believe, that includes a list of all the Windows registry entries for BitTorrent: after I deleted these entries BitTorrent was completely gone (and how much faster my system worked! Yay!)]
I am trying to uninstall Limewire 4.12. I reinstalled 4.12 then uninstalled using the Limewire uninstaller, but my system (XP Home) still includes StubInstaller.exe (from 2005), LimeWireWin.exe (from 2006, version unknown) and LimeWireWin-full.exe. These have no uninstallers.
I also still have the Limewire folder in Application Data: This includes 4 registry entries: Deleting this folder will not change these registry entries. They must be removed individually from the registry.

This may be of help: Errors due to mistakenly uninstalling LW using Add/Remove control panel - what to try now. Read from here onward!
