Default Unable to open limewire on mac 9600 running 0S 9.0

I WAS ABLE TO INSTALL LIMEWIRE ON MY 9600 MAC RUNNING 0S 9.0 BUT I GOT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE WHEN I TRY TO LAUNCH IT:

> Unable to Launch Java Application
> The properties files is missing an essential property:
> lax.main.class. Please make sure it exists in the properties file:/
>
> And when I click OK:
> Unable to Launch Java Application
> Unable to locate the application's 'main' class. The class 'null' must be
> public and have a 'public static void (String{})' methos. (LAX)
>
> When I click Details:
> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
> at com.zerog.lax.LAX.launch(Compiled Code)
> at com.zerog.lax.LAX.main(Unknown Source)
> at

> at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java)

I FOLLOWED YOUR VARIOUS SUGGESTIONS BUT GOT THE SANE RESULT. I TRIED TO CREATE A CONSOLE.TXT FILE FOR YOUR REVIEW BUT RAN INTO THE TWO FOLLOWING PROBLEMS (TYPED IN BOLD). PLEASE ADVISE. TC

I actually have a third one for you to try. It's located at:

http://www9.limewire.com/developer/L..._installer.bin

If that one also does not work, there is a way for me to get more information about what's happening. The process is as follows:

1) After launching the installer, check the Trash (sort by modified) and drag the IA_JavaInstaller_(delete)_53687/MacOS (Temp) directory to the Desktop.

I GOT A FILE W/ A DIFFERENT NUMBER

2) Delete the sea_loc file.

3) Edit the install.lax file to change the "stderr" and "stdout" fields to "console.txt." So, they should now read:

WHAT APPLICATION CAN I USE TO OPEN THE FILE FOR EDITING? WHEN I CLICK ON IT LIMEWIRE STARTS TO INSTALL AGAIN.

lax.stderr.redirect=console.txt

and

lax.stdout.redirect=console.txt

4) Save the LW_installer.lax and rerun the installer from the Temp directory.

This should produce a file called console.txt in the directory where you ran the installer. If you attach that file in an e-mail to me at afisk@limepeer.com, I should be able to find out more information.
