Beta Windows Version 1.6c - Please Try
 

http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download_beta

We currently have only created a windows installer for version 1.6c. This installer tests:
+ downloading a Java VM only when required,
+ creating a generic shortcut to LimeWire and
+ it takes out the NewDotNet warning.

It would be helpful if users on Wi***/98/ME with the NewDotNet.dll software installed could try this and report any problems. (See http://new.net for this browser extension software.)

We also want to hear how the Java download and install works where required and not required.

I don't think there are any new features other than some sharing directory bug fixes.

Let us know here about any problems!

Thanks

it seems to work....runs a little weird though. and it asked me to update to 1.6b - i said no, of course.

Good...
 

I don't have new.net installed. Everything works fine over here. :-)

Need more information
 

Snipes:

I just looked through your older posts. What OS are you running? When exactly do you get this error?

-Christopher Rohrs

LameWire 1.6c
 

The version 1.6c is unable to connect anywhere, just like 1.6b.
Any attempt to connect to the network results in a "Failed to connect" message.

I have Wi*** and I'm behind a firewall.

The version 1.4b still works as usual.

What do you mean "won't connect to the network"? Are you referring to downloads or messaging connections (as listed on the "Connections" tab).

Re: Need more information
 

"Will not connect to the network" means that it cannot make any of the connections that are supposed to show up on the "Connections" tab. It will pretend it is trying to connect for a while, and then show the "Failed to connect" message at the bottom. That is the behavior I get when I use the "Communities" tab to connect. The other "Connect" button that's at the bottom doesn't seem to have any effect at all. All options/settings are unchanged at their defaults.

this error of mine happens when i try to install the app so its not even on my comp yet and im runnin win98SE and iv had no problems with this program before.

It would be really cool if you included a warning message when you detect bearshare style spyware installed on the computer and offer to un-install it. Thanks.
