Windows Installation??

[jxenakis]

I've download the Windows version of the
LimeWire client, and I get a filename
"LimeWireWin" (not an .exe file - in fact
has no file type at all). Experimenting I
did the following:

(*) I found that I could unzip it, and I
found a file Windows\install.exe. When I
execute this file, it runs and exits
immediately.

(*) I found that I could rename it to
LimeWireWin.exe and execute it, and I get
"InstallAnywhere preparing to install"
dialog box, but once again, the installation
exits immediately.

Can anyone tell me how to install this?

I'm running on a new Windows ME system with
a ZoneAlarm firewall installed.

Thanks,

I think u have to turn off your firewall to load anything that is going to write to your hard disk. Have you followed there instuctions?

The firewall doesn't prevent anything, really -- certainly not disk writes. What
is does is ask you before allowing an
application program to access the
internet. I mentioned the firewall in
my posting, but I don't see how it
could prevent an install program from
starting up and displaying a dialog box.

What I really believe is happening is that
LimeWire's software must have a bug which
depends on some feature of Windows which
isn't supported by Windows ME.

Has anyone gotten this software working
on Windows ME??
