![]() I have been a limewire user for quite a few months, and earlier today, my sister installed limewire on her own user account my limewire has mysteriously gone missing. opening the limewire icon on my desktop will create a message: windows is searching for limewire exe, to locate the file yourself, click browse. I opened limewire installer to try and reinstall it, and i got as far as the installation. Midway through, it was aborted because "limewire cannot create uninstall information". trying to uninstall limewire, i came up with the same message: Windows is searching for uninstall... etc. so now i cant use limewire, and i cant reinstall or uninstall it either. is this related to my sister downloading limewire on her user account? I have a large collection of my favourite songs and i would hate to lose them. if anyone could make sense of this, id appreciate it vry much. ace |

![]() I have copied the folder, limewire, from the back up and pasted to a new folder on the C: attempts to re install from the hard drive fail error message as stated earlier...corrupt file requires down load. Unfortunetly for me experation date for down loading has expired and requires a new subsciption...more money |

![]() What version LW is it? Make sure no other versions of LW are installed. If yes, uninstall them. Then try again. Perhaps even try changing compatibility mode of installer (eg: right-click & change it to 2k or win nt), though not sure that should be needed. |

![]() Thank you for your interest and help. I don't know how to determine the version, I did down load it March 24th, 2005. No other LW is loaded as I am recoverying from a complete restoration and re formatting of the hard drive. When last all was well with the world my OS was and is Windows XP media edition |

What version Java are you using? Try these things: 1. Remove all versions of Java using your Add/Remove Control panel. Then reinstall using Java 1.5 Offline installer; Java 1.5 (take the JRE). I am not sure how it handles with Java 1.6, & some pro users had problems with Java 1.6 ![]() 2. Since you are installing "Offline", turn all firewalls, all antivirus, all anti-spyware, etc. off whilst you install LW. 3. "If" it installs fine. Make sure you add LW to clearance on your Firewall & put on safety list of anti spyware soft. etc. |
