Lord of the Rings:
You say: "(...) normally you will find the 'Older Versions' link on the right-side of the normal LW download page. It's on the left-side of the page for Pro users' personal download page."
I can't find this link... Obviously if I could keep my Pro I would prefer that...

Did you check your email account for email from LW support ... or go to the Support page & enter your email address.

Hi Lord, Yr advice sounds like just what I need. I have the same issue. Mac OS X 10.4.11 and updated to LW 5 but no good on my machine. Downloaded then tried in stall LW 4.18 but won't install, probably due to need to remove the LW 5 as you say.

My question; how to remove the LW 5 from the system?

Presumably then I can install the 4.18?

Did you write earlier that yr in Victoria, Australia? Shocking news about the fires; it's getting lots of attention and concern here in Europe.

Thanks

Install this version. With the newer version Receipt you would not be able to install the older LW so it needs to be removed first.

(b) I gave the direct link above, but normally you will find the 'Older Versions' link on the right-side of the normal LW download page. It's on the left-side of the page for Pro users' personal download page.

Remove the Instal Limewire.pkg from Receipts folder, found in system drive > Library > Receipts; sample image: Receipts folder sample image

Yes, around 200 lives lost in the fires.

I got back from a holiday in Thailand, but it was hotter here, 40-45 C / 105-110+ F for over a week. It was at the end of this period that the bushfires started.

thanks lord, it worked a treat once I got to the correct folder to delete

hope it cools down soon down there; it's extraordinary!
