Hello,
after the automatic restart and some update installation (which do not appear in the updates logs) last night, Rainmeter and my skins don't display anymore
When trying to launch Rainmeter.exe, i get the "unable to load language library" error.
When trying to launch skininstaller.exe, it prompts me to open files but I don't know what to do with it.
PC, Windows 10.
Skins: Elementary, DINAJ2
Thanks a lot for your help!

Re: Failure to load Language Library
I would suggest that you first do a cold restart of your computer, then just re-install Rainmeter (no need to uninstall or anything first) and see if that fixes things.

Power it back up.
Go to https://www.rainmeter.net/ and download a new copy of Rainmeter.
Run that downloaded file to re-install Rainmeter; it will overwrite the files and correct any missing or corrupt ones.
If you are still getting the error, post details on what version and type of install of Rainmeter (Standard/Portable) you did.

YOU GAVE ME THE FIX!
thanks a lot I reallly appreciate it!
I have a side question, but i am not sure this is the right thread.
I installed Rainmeter on another PC, and am unable to
- locate how to point in ELEMENTARY skin the proper temperature feed
and unable to have Itunes recognized as my music player.
I did compare the well functioning skin "settings" and similar note files to no avail..
thx again

You need to looup your WOEID for Yahoo weather at this site: http://woeid.rosselliot.co.nz/.
Copy the code you find for your city. Then open the 'Settings.txt' file from the context menu of an Elementary skin, and change the WOEID variable value to that code and set the UNIT variable to f for Fahrenheit or m for Celsius. Refresh the skin and you should see your weather after a few seconds.
As for iTunes, I do not use, but in the same 'Settings.txt' file, change the PLAYER variable to iTunes and refresh the NowPlaying related 'Media' skin.
If all else fails, you could try to contact the skin author or ask on the DeviantArt site where you downloaded this, or ask again in these forums in the Help: Rainmeter Skins sub-forum.
