Can't download

Post by una353 »

So I am new to Rainmeter and I am trying to download the program (I already have a skin I want to use) but I can't seem to download. As well, when I tried to install it before I got the error message 126 but I have all the 64-bit library information. Help!

  • Go to http://rainmeter.net
  • click on the Download link at the mottom left of the page under "Final Release"
  • Save the file to your computer
  • Go to the folder of the file
  • Right-click and select "Run as Administrator"
  • Now follow the installation instructions
The installer still does not work correctly for everybody when not run as administrator. If these instructions do not work, we have a more complicated problem.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

Perhaps you should try it in different browser

This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because . . .

Located in Canada. And can't use anything but Chrome. Every other browser slows my computer down and Firefox nearly crashed it.

What happens when you click the link to download it? You can use either the "Download" or "Mirror" links on this page: http://rainmeter.net/
