Default Problems installing Limewire PRO

I have searched all the topics before i actually thought about posting here....well I have been tryin to install Limewire Pro, but i have been very unsuccessful. Everytime I try to run the setup for limewire, it starts of fine....i select the language..English..and then it tries to look for a previous version of Limewire and thats where it just stays there. It keeps looking for the unintall.exe file (E:\Program Files\LimeWire\uninstall.exe\) and it keeps searching for that file and thats it. I had a previous version of Limewire, but I unintalled it a while ago, and now that im installing the new limewire, its not letting me do it.

Can someone please help me out.. thanks

Do a search for the limewire folder by clicking on Start/Search/Al Files and folders, Type LimeWire in the box and see if you can find the old LimeWire folder if you can delete it. Then follow the instructions below.

You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.
