So, the next best thing should be to extract the .zip file, right?

Well, to where should I extract it? I'm on XP, by the way.

Why can't you run the installer?

In any case, extract the .zip anywhere you like. C:\Rainmeter works.

You will have to add a shortcut to Rainmeter.exe to your Startup folder on the Start Menu manually if you install from the .zip and want Rainmeter to start with Windows.

Well this helps, then. Thanks.

And then, I would like to add this theme to it, so how do I go about that?

Does this require a computer restart or a logoff/logon again?
