Limewire won't run
 

I downloaded/installed Limewire 1.6 on my Me system. I have an "always on" cable connection. When I double-click the desktop icon, nothing happens. I right-click and pick "open"...still nothing. Can anyone help?

1.6d won't execute
 

I've got the same problem on Win98. Seems like JRE path is not happening:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

Help!

LimeWire 1.6d for windows won't run for me either
 

me too!

-I reinstalled explorer 5.x
-cleared temp files
-made sure Ikernel.exe is not in memory
-uninstalled and reinstalled in various ways
-confirmed existance of Stdole32.tlb file
-Downloaded and ran DCom98.exe
-tried installers from other download sites
-Deleted the Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Engine folder and then reran the setup.

I suspect something is missing from the installer.

I click on the installer, the hour glass cursor appears then nothing.

My system:
PII350
196 megs of ram
SCSI hard drive
win98 2nd edition with all possible updates

currently running "release ram" because I installed 98 this
month and it is lagging for reasons unknown to me.

Weird...
 

I am running Win 98 SE, and my shortcut target looks like this:

C:\WINDOWS\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

You might try changing your shortcut target. Right click the icon on your desktop, click properties, and you should be able to make any changes there. Hope this helps! :-)

P.S. Did LimeWire install JRE during installation? Or did you already have it?

test
 

fixed it by uninstalling old java runtime

We are going to modify this behavior slightly again for our next release, but for now modifying the shortcut to point to where you actually have java installed should work fine.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

LimeWire 1.6b Wouldn't Run
 

After uninstalling LimeWire 1.4b and installing LimeWire 1.6d
(7 times) I noticed in the install/uninstall program box....that
there were 2 versions of Java 2 Runtime Environment.
I uninstalled the original version (1.2.1) and kept the 1.3.1 version.
LimeWire started right up!

This is on Windows 98.

I installed Limewire 1.6d and get nothing when I click on the icon. I reinstalled it 4 times ...still nothing. If I install and use the old version all is working well. So, what's wrong with the new version? How can I fix it? I have cable modem.

TruStarwarrior was right
 

My shortcut pointed to:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

changing it to:

C:\WINDOWS\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

fixed the problem. Good catch Tru!

My system:
Athlon 500
256MB
WIN98- v4.10.1998

Thanks for the help. The new path did the trick and everything's now working.
