Ah--you missed the sticky in the OS X section (the Mac forum is usually for OS ( and earlier questions).

Anyway, here's the link to the sticky http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36374

The fix is pretty easy--just one file (receipt) to delete

We'd be glad to help, but not sure why you haven't deleted the receipt that's causing the problem.

The receipt is called ""Install LimeWire.pkg" and is a file in the main library of your hard drive:
Quote:
* NOTE: You get the "Null error" message in the Apple installer when a OS X thinks a more recent version is installed. Double-click the harddrive icon, open the Library, open the Receipts folder, then find the file: Install LimeWire.pkg, delete it and try again
Once you delete "Install LimeWire.pkg" you won't get the "null" message.

the above quote is taken from the sticky http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36374 and contains more details on the null message, thanks to LOTR

jums are good, but the bouncing reveals a problem with your OS X java that should also be fixed. Sounds like you are using OS X 10.3.9

here's the link to the fix from Apple http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301380
