Default problems with installing limewire due to corrupt java file

I have reinstalled windows on this pc and had limewire before but now i cant download it. Every time i try to download it, it stays on the 'installing java' bit of the installation. i have tried to delete the corrupt java file but it wont let me, and also it doesnt appear in the add/remove programs list. wot do i do?

Open the Task Manager and click on applications and see if java is running if it is, highlight it and click on end task. You can get to the Task manager by pressing and holding down Ctrl+Alt then pressing Delete on your keyboard.

Once you have made sure java isn't running you should be able to delete it. If you can't you should still be able to install java. But you will need to use the offline installer. Jot to the Java button at the bottom of this reply and click on it. Choose the offline installer and save it to your desktop, after you have saved it click on the installer and install java. After you install it go back and verify the install.

Now with that done go to the link below and get LimeWire the offline installer save it to desktop, then install it.
