Limewire installation fails

#1 (**permalink**) November 16th, 2001

My system is Windows 2000 Pro. Installation of Limewire fails on my PC. A message "Unable to create installDriver instance" pops up over installation process.
Please give me advise!

I have the same problem. Once the d/l is complete and the install starts, I get an error "1608 unable to create InstallDriver Instance", the program then aborts.

Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, I forgot, this is happening on a Win 98 system...

I've tried to install Limewire since it was version 1.7 and have always received an InstallShield 1608 Errors: Unable to create InstallDriver instance. Can I developer help us out here, please?

I've got through the recommeded steps from these other posts. Download the older version, etc. None of it works.

Sorry - do you mean that the installer won't download, or that once LW's installed it won't load past 12% (loading HTML engine)?

If the installer won't download, use this link to download: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe
Or try using a different browser.

If LW's stuck at loading HTML engine, check out this thread for tips: stuck @ 12 %(loading HTML engine...)
