We believe that we've identified the cause of this issue.

This may appear when the installer is launched from the command line. The InstallAnywhere OS X installer is designed to be launched from the Mac OS X Aqua UI, and when launched using a command line such as ./LimeWire.bin may produce the issues reported here.

Launching either from a double click in the UI, or by using the absolute path (/user/Desktop/LimeWire.bin or otherwise) should resolve these issues.

Hi drew,

Unfortunately I don't think it is a command line problem, since it doesn't work from the GUI either. I just ran it via the command line that one time so I could log the output for you guys, but generally I run such things from the GUI (and it doesnt work in that situation either).

thanks for your attention to this,

Dan

I have tried everything i can think of to fix the problem, and nothing is working. can you just send me the program not the installer. unless the installer places items in several locations, this would be an easy fix.

Please help

It has been over a month sense this issue has been brought up, and still nothing has changed. I’m having the same problem! PLEASE OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE INSTALLER. Please send me a link to download the program in a stuffed archive or something similar.

PLEASE
allmac@allmacpower.com

LimeWire without the installer has always been available from the LimeWire.com website.

Just unpack it and start it.

the latest link works on os x!!! i finally got this working.
i can't understand why the developpers didn't came on with something like this, THEY SUCK BIG TIME!!

Thanks for your support. You know that aside from installer issues, we have a program to work on and improve. Installers are tools that we use and they should work without our having to worry about it. When installers don't work, there isn't much we can do.

Given the deteriorating state of the Gnutella network right now, 95% of our 300,000 daily users would prefer us to spend time on improving the network.

Thanks

Hi guys - have been reading the thread... my problem is that the install icon simply won't open - have downloaded a zillion times - have dropped it right into stuffit lite, etc - no joy.... any thoughts ?

I realize that developper at ZeroG are supposed to work on this problem for many month and we have no solution for the installer. It is suppose to installAnywhere but it installNowhere: always the same problem at 2/3 of the process - it stall. The LimeWire_Installer is on my desktop and I doubleclick for opening it.

I have to say that I find flames like the one that started this thread "Finally solved my prob, NO THANKS TO THE DEVELOPERS!" offensive. LimeWire is an AMAZING program and the developers are doing a tremendous service to the OSX user community. Sure there are problems. Have you looked at the list of platforms supported. Might be easier for them to just concentrate on Windows. But I'm glad they don't. afisk, thanks. OSX wouldn't be what it is without LimeWire.
