The 1.3.1 install for the JRE does 1 of two things on here (XP Pro Build 2600, Corporate)... either says it can't install after unpacking due to not being able to run 16-bit apps, or if XP is told to run 16-bit apps in their own VDM, then it just disappears and never does anything. Of course, without the JRE, LimeWire doesn't run.

My workaround was to download the Java2 1.4.0 Beta 3 package instead from Sun... it uses the Windows Installer which works just fine. I then just pointed my limewire icon to...

"C:\progra~1\Java\j2re1.4.0-beta3\bin\javaw.exe" -cp . RunLime

Which works just fine, no problems since.
