I just wanted to reiterate TruStarWarrior's suggestion about the LimeWire 1.7 beta installer.
If you were not using this intaller when you encountered problems, I strongly suggest that you try it. You should use the larger Macintosh installer, not the one called "Macintosh No Vm," unless you are familiar with Apple's MRJs and are sure that you have MRJ 2.2.5 installed on your system. Otherwise, you should download the installer that is about 11MB.
If that installer does not work for you, it should create a file called LimeWire17_InstallLog.xml in the directory where you tried to install LimeWire. If your install failed and you see this file there, it would be very helpful if you could post its contents or e-mail it directly to me at
afisk@limepeer.com. Thanks.
