It's a problem that SP2 seems to be causing. The files are being renamed when downloaded.

Step 1. File extension must not be hidden. If you're unsure what that means, open Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab > "Hide extensions for known file types" should be un-checked.

Step 2. Right-click the file and select Rename. Change the zip part of the name to wba. Example skin1.zip = skin1.wba
If you get a warning about changing the extention, click OK

Step 3. Double-click the renamed file.

From what others have said, after a while, Windows will stop renaming the files when you download them.

renaming should work but you can also, open windowblinds configuration, click on install from disc, locate the zip file and click on it. Then you will see the skin in in the list and can select from there. You may have to close and reopen wb but I don't think so.
