corruption after update
 
I am a new user on Windows Vista. I had downloaded Limewire a week ago. Everything was working fine. I had a window pop up that said there was an update to fix a bug to make connections faster. I clicked on Update Now and that's when the problems started. I got a message that said I'd need to un-install and then re-download Limewire. When I tried to re-download, the message is "corrupt installation." When I try to untinstall, I get "files have moved." So I can't uninstall and I can't install.
I have 2 other users on the same computer and Limewire is working fine on their screens. Should I have uninstalled Limewire from the other users as well?
Where do I go from here?:confused:

I don't use Vista so not real sure. How did you uninstall LW. Should use the LW uninstaller. Not from Add/Remove Programs. Go to Search All Files/Folders. Type in limewire and delete everything it finds. Now try new install.
Something strange you say is it's working on other user accnts.??
I may be way off base here so you might hang out to see if anyone else can speak on this. Sorry

The first attempt to uninstall was made by a prompt I got when trying to update Limewire. It said "need to uninstall" and I think I just hit the "next" button. Later I did use the Limewire Uninstall (not Add/Remove) but it says the file has been moved.
I also think it's strange that Limewire works for other users on the same computer!

Here's another interesting piece of info. If I go to another user and start LW from the icon in the toolbar, it runs. If I try to start from All Programs, I get the installation corrupt message. The icon is now gone from my own start-up so I don't have that option.:confused:
