As the module's loaded early on, you need to use the recovery console to get it installed. Just copy it into c:\windows\system32 as uxtheme.dll.patch or similar, then boot up recovery console (from your windows setup cd if you haven't installed it yourself) and rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.dll.bak, rename uxtheme.dll.patch to uxtheme.dll.
Then just copy the themes into c:\windows\resources\themes.
The .msstyles files go into a directory with the same name as the file (ie SS.msstyles goes into c:\windows\resources\themes\SS), and the .theme files go into c:\windows\resources\themes.
et voila! (OK, using the recovery console's a pain. Perhaps you could do it in safe mode, I'm not sure)

HAHA!! Oh man, nevermind. I'm not computer illiterate by any means but that cannot be the easiest way to do it.
I've been reading various instructions on installing this bitch all day and they are all different. I've tried downloading a patched version and copying it over the old one but there is probably around 3423.45 steps that I forgot in the process. I have tried running my computer in safe mode and then running the multi-patcher, doesn't work.
I have my computer, I have the multi-patcher, what next? Why is it that you cannot just click on the thing and be done with it? It's like there is some secret to it that I cannot stumble across.
I get the message

I guess if it was easy, windowblinds would have been out of business by now.
