Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Finally solved my prob, NO THANKS TO THE DEVELOPERS! Well I finally solved the problem where the installer would hang 2/3 of the way through the first progress bar (before I even chose the install location). The problem was that there was a space in the installer. Specifically, I don't think that you can have a space anywhere in the path to the installer. Otherwise the installer will hang just as I described. Might I add that I solved this problem, NO THANKS TO THE DEVELOPERS. I posted NUMEROUS times in this forum, and it seems they just don't care. I'm hoping to transition to Aquisition (xlife.org) anyway, a cocoa based Gnutella client. I am officially sick of LimeWire and its developers, and I intend to switch once Aquisition 0.6 comes out. The reasons? Because the developers don't care about their users, because the developers put ads into their program, because the developers don't care about the performance of their program, and because Aquisition is not trying to be an application that does everything (an MP3 player in a download client -- GET REAL!). Oh, and the other reason is because I registered on this forum with my login and password but it still doesn't allow me to post. REEEEAL great support forum here. There, I'm done flaming. I hope to never need these forums again.  |

| I am sorry to hear that you have been unhappy with the program and with the support. Keep in mind that LimeWire is a free program and that we do not officially offer any support for the free version. If you buy the pro version, you do get e-mail support. It is very typical of free programs not to offer support (also free, keep in mind). The developers, like myselft, who occasionally respond to questions on this forum usually do so in free moments in working 60+ hour weeks on this program, so I can assure you that we do care about users and work hard to improve the system. That said, I am sorry that you have not been satisfied. Again, however, most free programs offer no support at all. |

 A space in the installer??? I’m having the same problems. The installer is hanging 2/3 the way through the install. I read your post about there being a space in the installer but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. I have checked the path and made sure none of the folder names have spaces in them. Please help |

| Hanging 2/3 of the way through I'm also having the same problem. The Installer hangs 2/3 of the way through. I haven't had any luck with the 'no spaces' solution either, or anything I've found on the Limewire website. If I run the installer from the root directory, it still hangs, so I don't think the problem is caused by spaces in the name. For the record, I just downloaded the newest version of stuffit lite, and that hasn't changed anything. I also went into the Limewire_Installer.app directory, and found that in the Contents/Resources/Java directory, IAClass.zip and installscript.zip were unzippable with stuffit (the newest stuffit) expander, but Installer.zip wasn't (although I was able to unzip it on a SG running irix). I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem or what. Oh, I'm running OS 10.1.4 on Mac, and using Stuffit Lite 6.5.1. Or as an alternative to fixing the problem , could you at least tell me where I could find a copy of an earlier edition of LW, since that seemed to work well. The other thing that is a little weird is that there isn't any dialogue boxes or anything written (no little messages that tells you about the status of the installation as it is happening, no notes from lawyers for you to confirm, in fact, nothing in any language) in the entire installation process. Nothing the matter with it, just a little unusual. Thanks, Dan |

| When everyone says that the installer is hanging 2/3 of the way through, are you saying that it hangs after going through 2/3 of the installation screens, or that the progress bar in one of the installation screens hangs at 2/3? I have brought this issue up with the ZeroG team (the makers of InstallAnywhere), so hopefully we can come up with a solution. |

| how the installation stalls I just ran it again (still doesn't work) - first screen - you get the three small blue circles and the big blue circle. everything is fine. Second screen, you get the big wrench and the status bar. This is where the problem is - the status bar only goes 2/3 of the way. There also isn't any text in anything the installation does (i.e. no text shows up on screen) before it hangs. I also started another thread about this problem, which has some more info about my experiences and an attached log file from when I tried to run the installer from the command line. Thanks for your attention to this problem Adam. We really appreciate it. Dan |

| Dan- Thanks very much for the debug data from the command line. I forwarded this along to the folks at ZeroG in hopes of them coming up with a solution. Hopefully, we'll have this issue fixed fairly soon. |

 thanks The problem is with the installer. Second screen after the 3 blue lights, the bar moves about 2/3 the way and then hangs there. Nothing more. Does the installer place files in several location? If not, a simple temporary fix for this would be just to have the program stuffed, or something similar to that. Many programs create a disc image of the program and to install it, all you have to do is drag and drop the program on to your hard drive. A good example of this is GraphicConverter. Then URL is http://www.lemkesoft.de/gcdownload_us.html Thanks for checking into this. When you have a fix I will buy the pro version. |

 We need your help! We at Zero G are working with LimeWire's development team to identify and resolve these issues. We would like to see output from any one experiencing this issue. While we may not be able to directly contact all users experiencing this issue - we will post any resolution we might find to this forum, as well as making it available to the LimeWire team. On Mac OS X, installation output for InstallAnywhere installers is gathered by opening console.app (you can use the finder to discover the location) when running the installer. You can send any resulting output to mailto:EvalSupport@ZeroG.com. Please put ATTN:LimeWire in the subject line. Thanks, and we hope to have this resolved as quickly as possible. ============================================== Drew Tappan Technical Support Manager Zero G Software, Inc. 514 Bryant Street San Francisco CA 94107 http://www.ZeroG.com The leading provider of multi-platform software deployment solutions. ============================================== |
