The installer freezes every time after going through the the “Java2TM Runtime Environment, version 1.3.1” (JRE) install process, so the LimeWire install never finishes. What can I do?
A.The Java installer can occasionally freeze on some systems. While we (and InstallShield) are not sure precisely what is causing this problem, there is a potential work-around. The following steps may get your LimeWire up and running successfully. 1. When the installer freezes, DO NOT STOP THE INSTALL PROCESS. 2. Go to the Start>>Settings>>Control Panel window. 3. Go to “Add/Remove Programs”. 4.

If you do not see “Java 2 Runtime Environment Standard Edition v1.3.1” listed in the Add/Remove Programs window, try downloading and installing the JRE directly from Sun at: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/download-windows.html. 6. Once you have installed the JRE, then try running the LimeWire installer again. 7. Ok, so you have verified that the JRE is listed in the Add/Remove Programs window. You can now close the
