ANYBODY KNOWS WHAT IM SUPPOSE 2 DO 2 FIX THIS???

My Fault I Forgot 2 Put This
 

i tried steps 1-3 & 5 - Fixes for Limewire:

Try removing your current version of Java & reinstall JRE using the offline installer (I know you've already done this, but the latest JRE is update 9 & it looks like you're using update 8). Install Java before installing LW.
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Also try reinstalling LW & make sure that you use the offline installer (not the recommended one).
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

Did you try changing compatibility to both Win 2000 and NT?

*When you delete the LW preferences folder, LW has to be completely closed (check in Task Manager to see if it's still running).

i tried everything u said & it still doesnt work & it still says this... any idea on what i should do???

one or more necessary files appear to be invalid. this is generally caused by a corrupted installation. please try downloading and installing limewire again. if the problem persist, please visit www.limewire.com and click the support link.

Try a different installer exe of LW; download the one offered under OS "Others".
Maybe that does the trick. Trying to install LW in Safe Mode might also be an alternative......

it still doesn't work...

Before installing try to change the compatibility mode. Right click the LW installer.exe, go to Properties>Compatibility and change it to Windows NT (or Windows 2000 if the first one doesn't work)
