Instaling problem

Post by Kaiapo »

Hi! My problem is that I install rainmeter 2.0 with administrator rights and it doesn't seem to create any of the folders for skins and for rainmeter.ini in appdata\roaming...
Any help??
I've uninstalled and installed again and still nothing...

Tell me about your system? OS, version, 32 or 64? How did you install Rainmeter? Did you take all the defaults or maybe set it to "portable"? Did you have any earlier versions of Rainmeter installed before?

Help me to help you, please.

Windows XP, Windows 7? 32 bit or 64 bit (there is no 86bit Windows, and although I suspect you mean 32bit, I can't be sure of that).

I asked if you had ever installed it before for a reason. Have you? Did you ever use version 1.0 or 1.3 or 1.4?

Is there no My Documents\Rainmeter folder at all?

New question. Is there a file called Rainmeter.ini in your C:\Program Files\Rainmeter folder?

Is Rainmeter currently running? If not, what happens when you go to C:\Program Files\Rainmeter and double-click Rainmeter.exe? Do you get an error message or does it run?

Can you go here: http://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6045, download that .zip file, unzip it and run it. Then copy and paste the text from the file it creates here?
