Unhappy I'm new. don't know macbooks well. having trouble installing pro and already had basic.

(mac os x. I've done all the software updates on it.)
I may be in the wrong section here but I had limewire basic that worked fine.
it all started when my comp hard drive was full, so i deleted limewire completley along with other random things pics etc. now that i have enough space again i decided to purchase pro. THE PROBLEM IS when i'm in the very last part of installation i click on install it says "cannot install because there is nothing to install" I've tried downloading it a bunch of times over and over too and it's always the same thing.


what does this mean? did i delete too much when i deleted limewire the first time? help!
HAS ANYONE HAD THE SAME ISSUE? CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE! that would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance

Which OSX version are you running? If earlier than OSX 10.4 then you will need an earlier installer.

if OS X thinks you have a newer version of LW, then the installer will say there is nothing to install.

Open the hard drive, find the Library folder, Look in the Receipts folder, and delete the receipt called something like 'Install LimeWire Package'

Try the LW installer again and see if the problem persists.
