Default Help!! Limewire won't initialize/install properly!!!

I have just downloaded the basic version of Limewire n everything seems to be goin well until I click to run the program.

I go through the setup dialog boxes and get to the window that's called Firewall Setup, go to click "Next" but when I do nothing happens and I cannot get past it.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times but it still won't work.

I've tried goin through it without any firewall and it still won't work.

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Java but it's made no difference.

What do I do?? Please help!!

Try installing limewire using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11


Then try the offline installer for limewire again...

It could be your security having a wobbly..
Try disabling all your security apps including your firewall and then try downloading again...

Unhappy Running LW

Hi,
I'm afraid I'm no help but wondering if you fixed your problem. I have installed LW basic (Several times!) Then I click on the LW icon and pick US english, folder etc. I get to the Firewall Setup Window. It shows several examples of screens that could come up and asks if I am getting security warnings. I don't and there are no other options.

Did you ever get yours running?

If you want to have another try, see whether the 'other' installer is any better. Check out the link here for info
Installing using the 'other' installer

Do you mean that there's no option to click 'back' or 'next' to move thru the installation? If that's what's happening, check out the thread below.
