I had issues installing the skin files and what I discovered the issue was was the Windows UAC, I didn't have permissions to write the files. I manually extracted the skin files and it asked me to give permission to write them and I said 'yes' and it worked (wondering if I ran OOTP with admin would this have worked?).

I renamed the skin.bin and when I started OOTP16 it didn't recreate it. I then ran OOTP16 as admin and it did recreate it.

So thinking I have to turn off UAC (I've done that in previous versions of windows because it was a PIA) and/or run OOTP16 as Admin.
