I moved some folders around, and now my project gives me a "Cannot find existing active skin . . . " message. How do I troubleshoot this?

The !SkinSubFolder! directory should go directly within your project file folder (as in C:/myproject/!SkinSubFolder!). Put it back there and see if RH is happy. Also, make sure that the skin you are trying to use is a folder within !SkinSubFolder! and that there are files within the skin folder.

The !SSL! folder is the default place that your generated output folders go. RH doesn't know to look there for the skins.

Yes, that's when I get the message. I found that folder and placed it inside the !SSL! folder, but I'm getting the same result.

Where are you seeing this message (for example, is it when you are generating your SSL)?

Skins that you select while generating your output are put in your project folder in a directory called !SkinSubFolder! Was that one of the folders you moved?
