Yes you cannot have both on same computer unfortunately. LW 5 installer will have uninstalled LW 4 at beginning of the installation process. So choice is yours. BTW LW 5 is not so great at moment, it is missing tools & has several bugs. Might be best waiting several months until they improve it. To reinstall LW 4, see Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers

Hi, everytime i try to install limewire 5.1.2 i get the message shown in the picture. I don't know what to do. I've tried installing the normal version and the one you give on this forum, but I get the same message.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling again, but it doesn't fix the problem. Please help?

I've been using limewire on windows XP and it works great. I love limewire, and it would be a shame to have to find a new program just because i can't install limewire on windows Vista.

Please help me. Thank you very much.

I hate Vista
 
I hate Vista. Never had a problem with LW until getting a new computer with Vista. The LW upgrade worked well enough, but at the bottom of the screen it takes a long time trying to connect and then shows a "no connectivity icon'. Even turning off my firewall and makiing LW an approved site didn't work. :confused: Anyone familiar with this issue?

Hey thanks!
 
Tried one of the links to reinstall and it worked. Thanks.

Grandpa,
I tried the full installer. I have Windows Vista and had Limewire.4.18.1. I tried to do the upgrade install and it got as far as deleting some of the older versions files. Then when I double click on the install, give it English as my language and click install (after it shows me where it is going to install) it starts to run and then says error reading limewire.exe. My options are to abort, retry or cancel. I tried retry, it just goes back to error. I tried cancel once and then I got another error on another file so of course abort takes me out...I cleared my dowload file and my temp file and tried the link provided by you. Same errors....help please Also I tried to go back to my original Limewire, but it says it is missing files (naturally, as they were deleted.) What next?
THanks
WGodsvd

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/333278-post2.html Use that version of LW installer, or for 4.18 get this one Get LimeWire for Your Platform - Lime Wire
For Vista, run the installer set as Admin after right-clicking the installer.
