Hi Gregory

Thanks for the info. . . the specifics really help. Have you also gone through the general system maintenance (safeboot/ repair permissions)?

For a quick check that it is an installer problem (not something else), would you try installing Jens-Uwe Mager's free CVS build of LW (click here). It uses the drag and drop method of installing.

Post back and let me know if that works properly, and then we can work on why the regular installer doesn't. This will mean searching and deleting all old LW pieces.

btw, I had a similar problem with a fresh Panther install which was fixed by searching and deleting the "Install.LimeWire.pkg". However, I'm not confident that is your situation, but might be worth a try.

cheers
