Hmm, is Limewire going Bloat?

I just DLed 1.6 seeing many improvements on the former 1.4 which I think has been THE gnutellaclone.

Much to my surprise this file starts installing JAVA for win.
"Hey hey hey I already got it, oh never mind."
Installs fine then exits to windows.

Then there's no Icon to start it. Big deal. Uninstalled.

Reinstall again it installs over my Java 1.3.1.
Now an Icon, but no Connect. The window just flashes...
Hrrmpff! Uninstall.

Reinstall my own JAVA 1.3.1.
Install 1.4b, works as always but can only connect to one server at a time...duh?
Sigh...do I have to return to those other G-clones?

Oh, and between all these reinstalls I purged my registry to make sure nothing was mistakenly left there.

Now can Anyone pls tell me how to get a working 1.6.. Great program great features....doesn't work.

By the way Running W2k on an ethernet LAN I-net connect. No problems running any other I-net apps or 1.4 yesterday even....
jeez...why do ppl bother w Java in windows, isn't that just begging for problems?
