I have tried both ways to install this software and I get the same message either way,
"This installation is corrupted. Please download and install limewire again."
Any hints on how to correct this problem???

Many thanks, Niki

Your registry probably needs a good clean out.

May I suggest you do these things:

1. Downld the Java installer to your computer, then install it (don't install Java over the net!) Find it here: Java 1.5 (take the JRE) - click on link

2. Downld 'Other' version of LW & unzip it: See Here about "Other" version (click on link) http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

hello. i have windows vista home basic operating system & i went to the official limewire site to download the application. the download went through however the installation will not. everytime i attempt to install it a safe mode screen comes up and states that there is "not enough memory to fit it". i've never had this happen before - been using limewire for several years on different pc models & this pc is fairly new so i can't imagine why it wouldn't have the capacity to hold limewire.

The Hard (C) drive holds 65GB with 45GB of free space left; there's also a recovery drive which holds 10GB with 6GB of free space left. Currently the RAM is 502 MB

now all of this is mumbo jumbo to me - i just want to know how i can resolve this issue. please help me!

Thanks,
