Java problem
 

I wanted to install Java so that I can install Limewire. Now my problem is I can't get the Java installation to work. I went on their site and downloaded Online and Offline Installation packages for Windows. When I double click on the online installation I get the following message:
Abort Java (TM) Installer
To restart the Java (TM) installer, please refresh the web page.

When I double click on the offline installation, I get nothing. I mean I get a pop-up from ZoneAlarm Pro saying if I should allow this application internet access and I click Allow

pls help

Go to your add/remove programs and remove any version of Java you have sitting there...
When you download Limewire Java comes with it, if you do not have it already installed, so download limewire using the offline installer (not the recommend one) and see if that fixes your problem...

Thnx for ur reply wondering why but no luck. I did download the offline installer but it failed. All went nicely and it showed it was installing java but after 14 min it said java could not be installed and i also tried installing java 5.11 offline version but still no luck

Something on your computer doesn't like Java lol...Just try disabling your firewall and AV whilst you are downloading Limewire and see if that helps...;)

Well i got AVG and ZA Pro ... Is ZA Pro know to cause problems for LimeWire??

Not usually, not real sure...I know that AVG doesn't as I have it myself...
Just try disabling the firewall for the moment and see if that helps..;)

No man.. it didn't help... But going back to what you said that remove any version of Java from Add or Remove Programs.. Well when I installed Limewire there was GTK Runtime and then i uninstalled it... Now even though java does not work... when I search it I get many results but nothin is listed in Add or Remove Programs..

Oh...That's strange, because you have to have Java to run Limewire...
But one thing is you need the JRE version of Java...Java has to be there somewhere...lol...

Try this link and see if it helps with your download...

Thanks Birdy...;)

Edit: I already tried that.. Both offline and online but no avail.. Also the offline one doesn't respond after I double click it

Well I guess my damn computer won't let me.. anywaz... I appreciate ur help
Oh! do u know other programs that work best like LimeWire... I know there are quite a few around like Shareaza, Frostwire, bearshare and edonkey.. but which one is gud ?
Thnz again...
