I unfortunately don't think there's anything we can do to solve this, as we only have limited control over exactly how the installer runs.

That said, we do have an alternate windows installer for LimeWire Pro that will almost definitely work for you. It's not avaiable for the free version basically just because we didn't have the same motivation to make it, but if you buy pro, it's listed at the bottom.

I'm really sorry that this is the only option, and I'm really not trying to extract money from you -- I just thought I would let you know that the option is there.
