I have the Omar installer installed to C:\LiteStep\ with the update installed.

Every time I try to change themes, I get a popup error claiming that it could not find the theme folder (The theme could not be installed. Would you like to view the log to see what went wrong?) If I answer yes, it opens notepad and tells me:

"ERROR: could not find LiteStepDir, exiting

theme was not installed"

The contents of my step.rc file is as follows:

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; define critical folder locations
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LitestepDir "c:\LiteStep\"
PersonalDir "$LiteStepDir$profiles\$UserName$\personal\"
ThemesDir "$LiteStepDir$profiles\$UserName$\themes\"



;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; load personal settings and theme
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------

include "$ThemesDir$themeselect.rc"
include "$ThemeDir$config\_compatibility_patch.rc"

IF ThemeIsOTS1Compliant
ShortcutsDir "$Desktop$"
ModulesDir "$ThemeDir$modules\"
include "$PersonalDir$personal.rc"
include "$ThemeDir$step.rc"

ELSE
ThemeIsOTS1Compliant false
ModulesDir "$LiteStepDir$modules\"
LoadModule "$LiteStepDir$NLM\NetLoadModule2.dll"
*NetLoadModuleSite "http://www.loose-screws.com/download.php?netloadmodule="
*NetLoadModuleSite "http://modules.shellfront.org/"
NetLoadModulePath "$ModulesDir$"
NetLoadModuleDocPath "$ModulesDir$docs\"
NetLoadModuleZipPath "$ModulesDir$archive\"
NetLoadModuleAliasFile "$LiteStepDir$NLM\NetLoadModule.ini"
include "$PersonalDir$personal.rc"
include "$ThemeDir$theme.rc"
ENDIF


I had to edit the LitestepDir "c:\LiteStep\" part in myself, it was not included by default. Evidently I am not doing it right, as it never allows me to change themes.

Can someone please help me fix this so I can use something other than the default theme?

LiteStepDir is defined by the core on startup, it is not something you have to define. I have seen this error happen when people install LS to one folder and then move it to a different and try to install a theme. Quit LS...Launch Explorer...Delet your LS folder...reinstall LS in the folder...restart LS...install your theme.
