Hi Yongjun,
The best place to make a request like this is the support board. Until you are sure there is a fixable bug in Skyline, please avoid posting directly to the issues list. In this case, Skyline v1.1 has been out for over 6 months, and many, many people have installed it successfully. It is much more likely that we will be pursuing how to fix your system to allow you the same success hundreds of others have experienced.

Thanks.
