I run a new computer with vista, I downloaded Limewire to my desktop and then after the download, I installed it by double clicking the icon. If you are trying to install it from the web site, this may fix your problem. Lime wire will run just fine on Vista.
Good luck, try to download and then install. I would also close everything out before you install it.

There is no help for people that have downgraded to Vista.
Here's more to look out for...
1) Third party drivers/applications are not allowed unless “approved” by Microsoft. Some of your favorite software won't run on Vista because the drivers have not been "approved" by Microsoft. This also means that the digital camera you just bought may not be "allowed" to connect to the PC.
2) Most security software will run but is limited because of “PatchGuard” and denied access to the kernel.
3) DRM is integrated – IF you even get to the point of copying something, ALL media copied thru Vista is SERIOUSLY degraded. The mp3s that you rip, are not allowed to be full quality. Same with DVD's.
4) You give Microsoft the right, through programs like Windows Defender, to delete programs from your system that it decides are spyware.
5) Takes up too much of the already strained resources.
6) You consent to being spied upon by Microsoft, through the “Windows Genuine Advantage” system. This system tries to identify instances of copying that Microsoft thinks are illegitimate. Unfortunately, a recent study indicated that this system has already screwed up in over 500,000 cases.
7) More licensing restrictions – Depends on which of the 6 different versions you get.
8) A lot of your software will need to be reactivated – Hopefully you still have those license keys.
9) Firefox is NOT allowed as default browser…No matter what!
10) Backup software crashes because of too many nested folders. Even tho it worked with XP.
Personally, if XP ever goes out of support, I'm going Linux

i don't believe Limewire has a Vista-stable program yet. I heard they have one still in beta, but i know not when that is supposed to come out.
It's not the software manufacturer's fault that they dont have a stable version of it yet. yes, Vista came out two months ago, but they delayed their release a few times, including releases to the software companies to design their programs around it, so it will take some time.
Why do you need Limewire so bad, anyways?

make sure you have the latest version of java installed as limewire is dependant on java to run properly
