Win2K Installation/Error 1608 - Rec'd Workarounds Don't Work
 

Apparently, like many others trying to install LimeWire 2.3 on a Windows 2000 Pro box, I have had difficulty with both the installation and the solutions recommended by LimeWire (recong of Dcomcnfg.exe) and this forum (1-27-2002 post recommending remote installation of two discrete files).

Before a recent Windows 2000 rebuild, I had installed LimeWire without issue---perhaps an earlier version, but not any earlier than what was available in Feb/Mar.

Are there any LimeWire developers/staff monitoring this list who have noticed the number of Win2K users who have tried these workarounds to no avail? Any help/advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

try the following:

-uninstall all versions of LimeWire and Java
-reboot your computer
-download the JRE from Sun's site:

-reboot computer
-go back to the download page and get the alternate Windows installer - install that version.

zbell :D

I tried following the advice on the 1608 error, downloaded and installed the J2RE dealy... rebooted.... but where's the alternate installer?!? Thanks!
