yep, it seems that this worked out!!

"If you are reading this, and you are getting the grey screen at startup, try right clicking the icon, going into the properties dialog box, and changing your "Compatibility Mode" to something else... even if what you are trying seems like the best option."

I have a similiar problem to rdnek's.
Just before the installation downloads the unpacked Jars.7z, i get an error saying that MSVCR71.dll was not found. If i do nothing and allow the download to finish i get an error saying the installation is corrupted. I've tried reinstalling java first and i get the same problem. Limewire used to run fine for me too but i had to reinstall windows too.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

1. Download & install this MSVCR71.dll file then: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dl....shtml?msvcr71

2. You might also want to clean the unneeded out of your registry; cc cleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/

that is the exact error I get -- the mscv.dll - or whatever.... I tried to download it.. but I even cant get that dll to download! I don't know how to unzip it, I guess.. is there a simple way to do it?
TIA!

Follow the instructions on that site. If you need an unzipper, there's a free one here which is similar to winrar except is free; it's called TUGZIP: http://www.warp2search.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4139

All I have to say is THANK YOU -- you truly are the lord!

It says :


Error opening file for writing.


C:\Program Files\Limewire\GenericWindowsUtils/dll

Click Abort to Stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip the file.



When you press Ignore, the same error message comes up for files ;

C:\Program Files\Limewire\Limewire.exe
C:\Program Files\Limewire\Limewire20.dll
C:\Program Files\Limewire\Windowsv5PlusUtils.dll



Then it trys to "Unpack Jars"



This message appears.





This Installation is corrupted. Please Download and install Limewire again.






I've tryed several times to re-install.
I had limewire on my computer but I made a new desktop and it didn't carry over, so I tryed to install it on that desktop. It uninstalled Limewire from my computer and now I can't re-install!

I meet all the requirements, etc. Because I have had Limewire on this computer TODAY.

I'm not sure how to make it work!

1. I would suggest using your Add/Remove Control panel to remove Java & then re-install using the "Offline" java installer; Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

2. Get the "Offline" LW installer from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

* Use this utility before re-installing LW: http://www.ccleaner.com/

Did you attempt to use the Add/Remove Programs Control panel to remove LW? IF yes, that's the incorrect way to uninstall LW.

After installing the Setup dialog is in another language. It will not go any farther than this screen.

Hi,

After serving me well for many months, my current Limewire stopped working. I went into Add/Delete programs and deleted it, then downloaded the newest version.

My problem in installation occurs when it hits the Java part. I keep getting the error message "Error 1324 The Path My Pictures contains an invalid character."

What does this mean, and how can I fix it? I've tried unloading and reloading Java to no avail - the error message pops up everytime, and my installation remains incomplete.

Thank you for any assistance!
