I have a problem installing themes that I can't seem to fix, no matter what I do. I'm using the theme installer, and every theme, no matter what it is, will fail to install. After it fails, I check the log, and I get the same message every time. ERROR: extraction of theme archive to ThemesDir failed, exiting. I've looked through all of the documentation, and I seem to be doing everything right. The theme installer is OTS2 compliant, the themes are OTS2, I've made the file extensions zip, I've made them lsz, I've tried everything. Nothing works. Any possible solutions for this?

Just a wild guess but... could it be that the ThemesDir variable is faulty somehow? Maybe it points to a directory that doesn't exist. Have you moved your LS installation or anything like that?

Haven't moved it at all, and the themes folder is inside of C:\Litestep (main LS directory).

EDIT: It's suddenly working...I downloaded a new theme and it worked, and now they all work. Strange. I didn't change anything x.x

Must have been the ghost in the machine. :)
