Re: Error message when trying to install new skins
From the Rainmeter context menu on the system tray, select "Edit settings". That will open Rainmeter.ini in your default editor. Copy and paste the line beginning with SkinPath= here.

Does that folder in fact exist? Are there files in it?

Re: Error message when trying to install new skins
Open the Run dialog (WIN + R), type in regedit, press Enter. Then browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Rainmeter skin\DefaultIcon and take note of path on the right.
Then, open Rainmeter (or restart it if it's already open). Right-click on the tray icon -> About. At the end of the log, you'll see "Path: some path here".
Post both paths here.

C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Addons\Rainstaller\Rainstaller.exe,0
I don't see any path in the about dialog...

Try this:Zornosaur wrote:C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Addons\Rainstaller\Rainstaller.exe,0

- Right-click on tray icon -> Logging -> Start Logging
- Restart Rainmeter
- Right-click on tray icon -> Logging -> Show log.
The path should be there (and you can stop logging, if you want).
