The problem is not the developpers of LimeWire who constantly give us a better and better tool. The problem is that they give the product of their work to ZeroG who does not seems able to give us an installer which goes well. No one seems to be able to give us advise for running the installer. I see that it stall at the moment where it is suppose to find .limewire/limewire.props and continue the installation. But why it stop there? It is no use to developp LimeWire if we can not install it.

For the time, I have download the basic version suggested without installer. After, I gathered the .jar files and some other files in the Contents of the pro version of the LimeWire_Installer. I put the files in the basic verson (replacing them). I have now the pro version starting with the limewire.jar.

Okay I agree with what recherchemp3 is saying above, but we do pay money for the Pro version and should be getting something that actually works.

I downloaded the unziped package as described on page one of this thread and it actually works! I'm amazed since all the version in the last four months have been disasters for me. 2.7.x Pro just doesn't work (apparently due to the installer) in it's present state.

It's great when someone finds a solution, as recherchemp3 has above, it would be nice if they'd elaborate and tell us how (list of the steps). For example:

Fine, please tell us which files went in where and what was replaced. Otherwise it's of no help to anyone else. I am willing to give it a try, but for right now I'm going to go back through the old versions and find one that works.

We have updated the installer behavior with LimeWire 2.7.11, which we released from beta today. This version fixes an earlier problem where the installer would incorrectly create a limewire.props directory (instead of a file). This version will delete the directory if it finds it and properly install the file.

Does this solve any of the problems you're seeing? Thanks.

Adam, one problem. When I start up LimeWire after it goes through the setup wizerd it just sits there saying loading user interface and does not change. This is for Mac OS 9.2.2

Unfortunatly, the new beta version changes nothing to my problem with the installer. It stall always at same place, just at the moment where it is suppose to do this action: RepositoryManager: lock acquired on: /Library/Preferences/.com.zerog.registry.lock
I don't have this invisible file /Library/Preferences/.com.zerog.registry.lock. I had it before having problem with the installer but I deleted it because I thought it was the source of the problem. I hope you will find a solution to this problem .
