- I installed Rainmeter JUST for this file, not all files. I ran the installer from this file by 'Run as...' Administrator.
- My Skins folder is not in a default location. (\My Documents\Other Things\Applications\Rainmeter)
My Documents hasn't been moved, but the skins folder is. I did this with 1.1 and didn't have a problem. Sorry for the confusion.
- Umm... crap. So. I NEVER install things to 'Program Files' on this computer and RainEnv only works if it's there. Reason:
It's a school's laptop. I'm not supposed have anything extra installed. And so they block installing things to 'Program Files' folder. I installed them in my \My Documents\Other Things\Applications folder, so it doesn't look suspicious. And sadly, the IT guy doesn't notice a thing. Point being, anyone can install there, but not Program Files. I got an Administrative account, and can, but choose not to 9/10 times.
Alright. Redoing EVERYTHING we've talked about in here. It'll take some time...
(EDIT)
Alright. So. I installed it under Program Files. Ran it. Tried to edit a skin through Rainmeter. No problem.
Now I just have to ask... why couldn't I when it wasn't in the Program Files folder?

And there's no Portable for the beta. Ahaa.
I got it to work anyways.

Alright. Deleted every scrap of Rainmeter from my computer. (Aside from custom skins)
Reinstalled Rainmeter Beta 1.2 to /My Documents/Other Stuff/Applications using a non-administrative account (I have full rights there) (Didn't add the custom skins yet)
I changed Default.ini to Rainmeter.ini. Ran it. And right clicked on a skin, went to Skin Menu --> Edit Skin... and the Run As... dialog popped up. I chose to run it under the Non-Administrative account, and it let me.
So. It works. It's just going to get annoying fast. Ahaa.

Any reason the Run As... dialog pops up?
Clearly there is some restriction on that My Documents folder you are using. I just can't replicate your setup (nor would I want to) or the problem. I suggest installing Rainmeter in portable mode as I described, but in another folder that you create from scratch on your C: drive and are sure you have full ownership of and control over.
