Default Limewire pro will not install, free version will?

Hi,
Im a newbie who just recently upgraded to os X 10.3.9.
I cannot seem to get limewire pro to install.
When i click on the hard drive to install i get this error message...You Cannot install this software on this volume(null). There is lots of room availaible so thats not the problem. I downloaded the free version and it installed with no problems.
Anyone have any thoughts on this problem? I would like to use the pro version if possible as i hear its much faster..
Also, the free version is working fine so far, should i download the java security update only if i have a problem?
Thanks
shawn

That is very odd that the Basic version works but the Pro doesn't. Upgrades for OSX can cause issues with regards to Java. It has been discussed in this or the general osx section of the forum. What you can try to do is remove the limewire receipt & then try installing pro. Double-click the harddrive icon, open the Library, open the Receipts folder, then find the file: Install LimeWire.pkg, delete it and try again. Receipts folder sample image If this doesn't work, then I'd think in regards to Java. Generally reinstalling this http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...update142.html fixes it. But there's another option also. BTW if it won't let you reinstall Java, then remove the Java 1.4.2UpdateX from receipts & try again.
