Oh, that makes perfect sense - thanks for the link and explanation, they're spot on as usual. I already allowed the executable and it's perfectly fine as expected.I assume this is related to Avast's variant of this:

Presumably, if you "allow" SkinInstaller.exe to access protected folders like Documents once, it will be fine from then on. Can't say for sure, as I have not run Avast for probably 20 years.
I posted this not necessarily because of the message / action itself, I was referring more to the fact that I didn't need to do it for the previous Rainmeter version. On a second thought though, this might not necessarily be about the new version triggering the alert on its own, but rather the AV reacting to the executable being different than the one in its "database" of known executables on my system...
