First, I tried to download the free version of LimeWire. It displayed an error message that said something was wrong with the uninstallation folders. Then, stupidly, I bought PRO. I tried to install it and it diplays a different error message (it says there is an error in writing C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\jrestub.exe) and I click ignore and it gets stuck on JAVA. I read the advice LimeWire gave me which was to install JAVA (which I did and it does not show up on my Windows Task Manager or Add/Remove Programs) and end it in the Windows Task Manager. I don't know what to do.

Windows XP.

rebooting=restarting?

Install Java 1st using this installer here: Fixes for Limewire & then use the following version reference to download: See Here about other version. You just unzip it & use it. By the way, try rebooting before installing java & LW.

sheesh am I a slow typer or something! lol Yes restarting!

it says error 1500. another installation is in progress. being that i am extremly frustrated, i have downloaded a few versions of JAVA.

Hi thissucks123456

Im not sure what type of PC you have.

If you haven't already fixed the problem. Try going to control panel> add or remove programs --- and remove everything java related. LimeWire also.

If you are prompted to restart don't. Download Java and LimeWire to your desktop, and install from there. Install java first then LimeWire.

This is how another member resolved there problems with java errors.

Hope this helps

Have a better day.

ok i downloaded JAVA 1.3.5_15 or something

oh gosh, now it says access is denied when i try to delete JAVA and LimeWire

Java 1.3 is definitely the wrong version to try. Use either Java 1.4.2 or 1.5 as in the above link I gave for Fixes for LW.

Do a search on your computer for limewire & see how many versions you have installed. You may be having problems b/c you have more than one version with one silently running in the background.

ANother option is to use the 'Other' installer as it's refered to at the download site. eg: See Here about other version. You just unzip it & use it.

By the way if you have a registry cleaner it would be worth giving your computer a clean. eg: HERE (click on link) (Some of those are free I think from memory.)
