i get a message when i try to install limewire sayin "one or more necessary files appear to be invalid. this is generally caused by a corruped installation" i have tried to install in many times but had no luck. PLEASE WILL SOMEONE HELP ME

Try this:
Download the latest Java JRE (update 9) using the offline installer, see point 1 in the thread below. Remove your current Java version & then install the new one.
Fixes for LimeWire

Delete LW's preferences folder. That's points 2 & 3 in the fixes thread. The preferences folder is hidden, so you'll have to show hidden files & folders to see it:wink:

Now reinstall LW, make sure to use the offline installer (not the recommended one).

ive done that but im still getting the same message is there anything else i can do?

thanks for your help.

You could try installing with your computer in safe mode.
Also, you could try the 'other' installer rather than the Windows one. See below
Installing using the "Other ?" installer

kk il try that.

She got a crystal ball......
