Angry limewire help

command line parameters:
/L language ID
/S Hide inizitialization dialog. For silent mode use : /S/v/qn.
/V parameters to MsiExec.exe
/UA<url to InstMsiA.exe>
/UW<url to InstMsiW.exe>

Does it also occur for the LimeWire programs menu item, or just the desktop icon? Is the message that pops up a LimeWire style message or windows style? What is the title of the message?

The message is for all of the limewire icons including the desktop. The title is installshield, so i take it that windows and limewire have something mixed up here.

Oh how interesting. It sounds as if the install did not complete. I saw some posts having to do with install workarounds, so perhaps this is what you need to know about. Have you checked the other messages that make reference to this? I have not had this problem, so I can't help you exactly, but perhaps you should try FreeWire instead. It does not use the same installer (it is basically LimeWire, but no banners). Here is the link:

Both programs work the same, and there are a few different options for you:

1) Move the songs folder into your FreeWire folder.
2) set the folder for your songs to the same one as LimeWire.
I guess I would use option 2, that way both programs will have your songs available.

So how do you like FreeWire?
