Every time I have tried to install Limewire on my Mac with Os 9.1 I keep on getting the same Java message that it has caused an InvocationTargetException and cannot not install LimeWire on my computer. I have dowloaded the latest version of Stuffit Expander and I also increased my memory size, NOTHING works!!! Please help! The following Java message appears:

trash that installer, and download another. also, make sure you have a recent Apple MRJ installed - you can get it here:

zbell,

I installed the most recent MRJ installer on my Mac Os 9.1 like you said, and I trashed my old Limewire installer, but when I tried to install Limewire again, I got the same Java error message as before...I dont know what to do now.
