Recently, I installed updates to the only two Rainmeter skins I use: Neon Space Pro and DropTop4. After doing so, the components of one or both of these skins would disappear, and resist reinstalling. I uninstalled Rainmeter (I followed the "Clean Uninstall" process from the documentation) and tried reinstalling. I got the message: "There are no available skins at: C:\Users\XXXX1\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\"
This seemed odd because the "XXXX1" was my first name, but NOT the name Windows calls my Microsoft account.
The directory C:\Users\XXXX1\Documents exists, but it's empty.
When I printed out the info from Rainmeter, here's what I see:
Rainmeter 4.5.18.3727 (64-bit)
Language: English (1033)
Build time: 2023-07-31 11:58:37
Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (build 22631.3810) 64-bit - English (1033)
Path: C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\
SkinPath: C:\Users\XXXX1\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\
SettingsPath: C:\Users\XXXX2\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\
IniFile: C:\Users\XXXX2\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.ini
FYI, when I installed Windows11 a long time ago, I relocated my Documents folder to D:\Documents (rather than C:\Users\XXXX2\Documents), and have never had a problem with Rainmeter or any other installed program.
Can someone provide insight about why the SkinPath would be a directory that doesn't even exist, and why it would be in a folder in the C:\Users directory that does NOT correspond to my account name where everything else is stored, and, more importantly, what can I do to fix this???
