Corrupted Installation
 

Hello,
I have tried re-downloading and re-installing limewire a couple of times now but after installation is complete, i run the program but instead of opening, i get this message:

One or more necessary files appear to be invalid. This is generally caused by corrupted installation. Please try downloading and installing LimeWire again.
If the problem persists, please visit Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download, BitTorrent « and click the 'Support link.
Thank you.

LimeWire version 4.18.3 Pro

I recently re-formatted my computer but this has never occurred before. I've also tried every way possible as well as uninstalling and reinstalling. I also recently installed Java, but there must be some other reason to why i keep getting that particular message.

Hope someone can help out.
Thanks! :)

Hey :)
I figured out what was giving me that error.
I uninstalled Java and re-installed it and then verified my installation from the Java website. I don't know if that'll work with you but it did with me!

I have this problem too but it did not work for me to remove Java and re-install... :(

Any other suggestion?
