need new version

Post by Sam12345 »

I have downloaded the newest version, but when I download skins made recently i get a notification saying "Rainmeter 4.4.0.3349 or higher is needed to install this package. Get the latest version from rainmeter.com and try again".
I am running Rainmeter 4.3.1.3321 i think, but i downloaded it from the homepage 2 days ago, so have I got an earlier version, and if so how do i get the knew one?

Apparently the authors of the skins in question have them set to require the latest beta version of Rainmeter, which is 4.4 Beta Release - r3433. That version is available on the Rainmeter main site.

It seems like stable, in spite of beta branch. No worries, works perfectly. :)
