Alienware package installation error... PLZ HELP

from WinCustomize Forums
when i try to install the alienware package i get about 7/8ths of the way finished then this error message pops up... "Windows cannot find 'E:\ALIENG~1\Thememgr.exe'. Make sure that you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, then click Search."

I have downloaded it 6 or 7 times and it gives me the same error every time...
is anyone else getting this error? please help me to find out what is wrong...

Answer to #6-Assuming that you have the program windowblinds installed, load the windowblind skin from windowblinds. Or you can go to the theme manager directory and copy the Alienware theme folders to your desktop. Then change the extension to zip and unzip it. Then, find the windowblind theme folders and copy them to your windowblinds directory. Then you can load them from windowblinds.

ive tried it and this error message appears... " There appears to be no .uis file in this skin. Are you sure it is a WindowBlinds skin?"

Oh. This theme is made differently than most. Download the zip file, then run the .exe in the file. Its a theme installer and will install a theme manager that will let you install the skins. (its a messed up way to do this by the way...dunno WHY they did it that way)

It works. It worked for me. I got the exact same error that you did. Maybe you copied the wrong folder. The folder that you want is the one inside the windowblind folder. You can look in the folder yourself and see if there is a .uis file. If not, you have the wrong folder.

People have said the same thing about a skin that I made. The error message about no uis file. That is strange because rarely does anyone say that and there is a uis file in my skin. I assume it is some sort of mistake on their part. Maybe a corrupt download.

There is an ALX.uis and an Alienware.uis file. I just checked.

I think Theme Manager in this case is for Windows XP only. Remember this was originally built specifically for Alienware PCs and they don't pre-install anything but XP. Could be the issue.
