Can't start limewire...Help

[Felixkrull]

I have successfully installed limewire pro but when I try to start up I get the message: One or more neccessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by a corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing limewire again.

I have reinstalled it twice but still get the same message.

Here is the report:
