Couldn´t find the XML...

Error

Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.

Cause

There are many possible causes for this problem. It could be that the XML is corrupt, it doesn't exist, or that its named incorrectly.

Solution

1.) On your computer, unzip the template file and ensure that the real template file is not zipped inside of a zip file. Its possible the developer created a installation zip, and then put that file inside of another file that contained installation documentation, source files etc

2.) The next thing you should do is check to make sure that the XML exists. All templates come as archives, usually .zip files. Unzip the file locally on your desktop and verify it has the XML file:

./template_name/templateDetails.xml

Note: the spelling of the file templateDetails.xml is not an accident. Joomla! expects to see the XML file named templateDetails.xml
