Missing .uis file?

Wednesday, August 28, 2002 by Shlymat61 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Is anyone getting a message that a .uis file is missing when they try to download windowblinds?

This seems to happen quite a bit on some people's computers. Instead of clicking it to download and install the skin, right-click it, select save as, save it to disk. Then double-click it in whatever directory you saved it to. This works for me.

Usually it seems to be a caching problem and dumping the browsers cache fixes it but in the case of some skins they are zipped incorrectly. An example is Xtreme Blue by DS-CUZTOMS. The wba file is actually inside a wba file along with some fonts. Obviously he created the wba then added the fonts and uploaded a zip file which automatically got renamed to a wba. Clear as mud? Just follow Chris' advice but, in this case anyway, rename it with a zip extention and open it with a zipping utility.

Sorry to use you as an example DS but it seems to be a common problem!
