Until you fix 1.6, keep an older version available
 

I'm not sure if you realize just how many people this issue of LimeWire not starting is affecting. A lot of people I know are experiencing the same problem.

Well, I had to scour the web to find an older version of Limewire and reinstalled it. I really think you guys should provide that as a temporary fix until you permanently deal with the current version. Keep in mind I went from downloading great files using an almost-but-not-quite-new application, to staring at the icon of a brand new application that wont start.

If anyone needs the link to download LW 1.4, here you go...

Also, here's the previous version of 1.6.
