If it didn't, open the .rmskin with 7zip and manually extract the plugin. It worked instantly for me.
That is what I have done the first time, and for some reason, it did not work. Therefore, after I saw you post I tried again and this time it worked like a charm. I think that in the first time rainmeter was running and using the plugin, so it don’t let me overwrite it, but oddly I did not get any error message. I think killing the rainmeter process and them manually extract the plugin will work for everyone.

Thanks very much .raptor for rush in and fix the plugin earlier that the expected and take the time try to help

Still does not explain why the rmskin doesn't install as it should. Would you mind testing it at your end? Everything works just fine here, but it seems several users have had to extract manually.

The only time I would expect the .rmskin to fail is if something has "modified" it in any way during the download process or on the user's computer before it is installed. That would generally point to either some hideous old version of Internet Explorer, or some malware in the user's browser or on their computer.

We have some protections built-into the .rmskin. If it is modified in any way, even by one byte, it will refuse to install.
At this point I am convinced that Spotify webhelper just doesn't like me. Of course, I get the feeling that if I went over and asked why their webhelper isn't working on my computer wouldn't really get me a solution.

It's really strange. It just randomly stopped working for me too. It was working like a charm for the longest time. Nothing in the Rainmeter logs, or in the Windows Event Logs. It just doesn't get anything. Title, album art, artist.... Nothing.
