Same problem
I've encountered the same issue with regular VLC and didn't know how to fix it. I don't use skins myself, so I wasn't too concerned. Try with a local install of VLC and getting it working. If you do, let me know and I'll see if there's something I can do in the launcher to make it portable as well.

Where could be the problem?
Skins
I had the same trouble getting a skin to load on start up. I finally managed it and will try to remember how I got there.
First open up the Miscellaneous\preferences in VLC, go to the General tab and check the box for advanced settings. Then you will find a check box for skinnable interface, I think I just checked this box and got sorted out.
Sorry if this is a bit vague but I hope it points you in the right direction.

I am not sure, is there a difference in the guide of Bruce?
It is the same error as described above from me.
VLC closes immediately.

I always checked "skinnable Interface" under "extra interface module" (hope its right, I use the german version). But you have to check "skinnable interface" in the drop-down menu.
Sorry, it was my fault, now everything is fine
