I have 83.5GB free atm, free space is not the issue.
EDIT: It does extract some files to that temporary folder, however the autorun.exe is what creates the error message I posted originally.

yes!

which is your username?
maybe a strange (not ANSI) char in the username will cause the problem
there is also a full width romaji that is not ANSI in the IME keyboard...
just a question... the files get's extracted?
and... which it's your operating system?
do you have .net framework installed?
Can this tool be used to import a menuhax theme in case it gets removed, and I have no wifi around? Also, do I have to be in a CFW to view the theme in theme settings, or just to install it?
It would be too many, because they all show upside down once installed. I checked them with everything including paint, and they are fine.
yus it worked 
(i have no idea why many people had problems installing it to FBI, yet I installed it fine in FBI)
(i have no idea why many people had problems installing it to FBI, yet I installed it fine in FBI)
Issue with this and official theme:
I use this with the official themes (most of which I did buy).
Yet, software gives a weird Icon and name in the theme menu, gives it the icon and name of an animal crossing theme. But the theme itself is correct.
For example, the Zelda: 2 world theme. It has the name ACNL: Colorful Pattern and an ACNL icon. Yet the theme is what it is. I checked the folder, as well as my other folder and I see no reason why it should have the anything with ACNL.
Any ideas?
Edit works now. BBM gave me that problem, while Devmenu fix that.
New question: Can you use Shuffle favorites with this? When I go to Shuffle Favorite option, I can't select anything.
Edit 2: Found the solution to that. Just needed to delete CTR-M-HMME-00 to reset things. I suggest information about how to delete theme data be in the OP?

Here are some tips for those who have problems, make sure you didn't miss something before asking a question:
- Always run Theme Checker and Howling Theme Tool as administrator, otherwise apps won't get required permissions;
- Make sure you're choosing main folder and not one of those where you put themes (not Custom, Custom NSFW or Oficiales, but Example Folder where these 3 folders placed);
- There should be at least one folder with theme in any of those 3 folders. Package already have two custom themes included, so you should be OK;
- If you're still getting error about wrong folder structure, look for "C:\HowlingConfig\HTT.ini". Try to setup full path to your example folder manually, for example: "PorDefecto=D:\Howling Theme Tool\Example Folder";
- Your previous theme pack can conflict with new one, so always delete old one before starting installation (CTR-M-HMME-00, CTR-M-HMMP-00 or CTR-M-HMMJ-00);
- Don't use FBI for installing themes, there can be problems with multiple content packages, always use BigBlueMenu or DevMenu;
- If you ever used shuffle feature with CHMM, you can encounter a problem, when you can't add themes for shuffling. Simply press Y in shuffle management menu and console will reset extdata.

can this co-exist with CHMM? xD i hope i make sense..
like , well guys i kind of never managed to get CIA themes working on my 3ds consoles , only CHMM always works brilliantly for me.
i have just now updated my n3ds gw emuNAND to the latest 10.3, what would i need to get the cia themes working?
when i tried it some looong while ago, they never appeared for me in the Theme section insisde the menu of the 3ds, so i always keep using CHMM only.
and i need CHMM , so would it be an issue if i installed Cia themes alongside CHMM?

If I am correct, then Gateway emuNAND doesn't support CIA themes (and other DLC CIAs), so I think you couldn't be able to use them with Gateway.
CHMM replaces the images and sounds in the applied theme, so it can co-exist with CIA themes.
@gazzoose @u4ick @Ripper00420
Please, pay attention to your PMs in the next days. I will send you a private beta soon for you to testing.
It will include these "fix attemps":
1-A new container (trying to fix @gazzoose 's problem)
2-Forced close method via "kill process" (trying to fix @u4ick 's problem)
3-A option that allows you to choose how to flip the icon (will allow you to Y-Flip and X-Flip the icon when creating a theme package to solve @Ripper00420 's problem)
Another new functions/bug fixes:
-Fixed a issue with "à"
-Fixed a problem in the counter label when more than 1000 themes are loaded in the themes to pack list
-Add a volume slider
-Add a function to work with another W.I.P. homebrew of mine
-Loading time speed-up (now the Sun Animation it's not needed anymore)
-A long theme name now will be displayed properly
-New arrangement options (I am still coding this)
-Load/Save Theme List options (I am still coding this)
-Auto-load options
-Edit with YATA+ option (I am still coding this...)
Also, Translators ( @Asia81 @smileyhead @Nba_Yoh @gudenaurock ), stay tuned too 'cause I will also send you a new beta with a hudge lot of new strings to be translated.
Also, @redunka please, stay tuned too...
All of you will be called to a Private Conversation Thread soon.
I will first finish some things about SOON! v2.0, including translations and stuff, then I will focus on Howling Theme Tool
-------------------------
@u4ick
try to give it some time to close...
