Download this file:
https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/examples/ExampleMeterBar.rmskin
And double-click it. Does it install?

Re: mrskin files do not open
That is quite troubling. I suspect you have some kind of malware or virus that is effecting and altering files that you download. I would run your AntiVirus and MalwareBytes AntiMalware as soon as possible if it were me.chefrob wrote:no it says error invalid file
The Skin Installer functionality in Rainmeter will detect changes to a .rmskin made after it is created in by the Skin Packager, and if any such change exists, it will refuse to install it with the error you mention. Assuming you have a reasonably recent version of Rainmeter from http://www.rainmeter.net, and have it installed so the .rmskin file extension is associated with Rainmeter, then there is no other good explanation for the result you are getting. Something is altering the .rmskin as or after you download it.
