SkinStudio 11 error message

September 20, 2025 7:59:00 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

StarDock,

As you know with WindowsBlinds 11, you also get to download SkinStudio 11.  On trying to install SkinStudio 11, I got the following error message.

Error

On Startup, Line 319: attempt to index global 'Encoding' (a nil value)

Stack Traceback:

1: [Global include script: d:\Jenkins\SkinStudio 11 - Installer - retail version\workspace\src\Includes\Scripts\_Stardock_SUF70_Global_Functions.lua] Line: 319 in function 'GetCompanyRegistryHive'

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know something.

  1. Do you have Windowblinds 11 system installed in the system where you're trying to install Skinstudio 11?
  2. You on Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe for these numbers.

Thank you,
Basj,

Perhaps download issue. Try downloading again and reinstall. Best to reboot system before installing.

Thank you,

We can reproduce this.  For now just say ok and I think it will then install correctly.

This will be fixed early next week.
