    I get the below error text when trying to install a theme.
    I was using an older version of WP and got the same error, and thought maybe my hacking of functions.php had caused a problem, so I upgraded to the latest WP, thinking that probably reloads a clean functions.php on? but still get same error.
    It says “Theme installed successfully.” but it is not visible in the themes area, not visible/working on the site, and theme has to be manually deleted from the directory to attempt a reinstall.

    Error text (with personal ident values changed):

    Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

Theme installed successfully.

    Ah I did just find some additional information at the bottom of the themes page:

    Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name 	Description

PolishedTheme 	Stylesheet is missing.

    Not sure if this is a relevant error though, as nothing was mentioned about css in install error, and there IS a style.css in the theme dir

    Problem solved. If anyone else has similar issues, the solution is that the theme files were too deep in the file structure of the theme zip, had to make a new seperate zip without the extra folders it comes with by default.
