installing on Vista 64 - Java & Limewire - A FIX

yatman · #1 April 24th, 2008

Does anyone know how to install on vista 64? I keep getting an error message about JAVA not being installed even though I've installed JAVA-64 from Sun's web site.

Check the stickies in the Vista section, I think there's a trick to setting the installer as Admin.

Hey Lord of the Rings - thanks for the advice. I thought maybe that was the issue so I tried that . What I found out was that I was missing the browser plug-in of Java. Installing the dowloaded java 6_6 doesn't install the browser plugin so Limewire was wigging out. I went to the plugin site and installed from there and now limewire installed fine.
