Hmmm, if you have trouble downloading LIMEWIRE PRO, why do you ask the 
Ethereal mailing list?!? Go and ask the LIMEWIRE PRO mailing list or 
their customer support or whatever. *If* there is a problem with the 
LIMEWIRE PRO installer, that development team should be notified so they 
can fix it and not the Ethereal community.

Hmmm, when your installer is telling you, that it's corrupted or 
incomplete, well, it's likely that it's corrupted or incomplete. Try 
downloading it again.

The Windows Installer is completely unrelated here, as it's used to 
install .msi files, but NSIS uses simple .exe files.
