Skins won't intall

[balala]

I don't see Illustro when I open rainmeter. Where it shows all of the skins is just empty

Where? In the Manage window? I don't think it could be completely empty. If you remove all your skins when Rainmeter restarts, the default illusto config is created. Even if Rainmeter doesn't load skins, but the default config is created.
So let's recapitulate: if I'm not mistaken, you see the Rainmeter icon in the Notification Area. Do you see it?

what kind of system are you running and what kind version are you installing on you system...

I don't think this would matter too much.

balala i didn't hear from him if he found that icon yet :P

That's why I asked if he sees it.

I saw the Rainmeter icon. I am doing what eclectic-tech suggested. Btw, how do I link a picture from my files so I can show you what I see?

Do clean uninstall and re-install.

What does the clean uninstall tutorial mean by download a Rainmeter installer?

The simplest way is to click the Attachments tab, below the Save draft, Preview, Submit buttons and click the Add files button.

Extremely interesting!!! That field shouldn't have to be empty!
Please check the path of your skins. Right click the Rainmeter icon in the Notification area and click Edit settings. The Rainmeter.ini file opens in the default text editor. Check the SkinPath variable, within the [Rainmeter] section. It is where Rainmeter looks for the installed configs. Is it correct (identify the appropriate folder on your hard disk)?

Turns out the path was wrong. After I fix things up I will see if Illustro, but even if this works it might not fix the skins downloading issue

Yup! After I changed the skin path Illustro popped up!

And skins are downloading! Thanks to everyone that helped!
