Unable to Install

Post by AidanTheTurtle »

When I try to install the latest version of Rainmeter it gives me and error saying I need windows 7 with Service Pack 1. I have windows 10 and there is no possible way to get this service pack. How can I get around this?

Are you getting the download from here? https://www.rainmeter.net/

Because I'm using Windows 10 and the 4.1 Final Release - r2989 work fine for me

You could also try to install other (older) versions. Do you get the same error message?

All I had to do was use Compatibility Mode and select Windows 8 and it worked.
