While trying to install Joomla Templates I get this error :

Warning

JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file

What file is it ?

I am using Joomla 3 . I downloaded few of the Joomla templates from torrent and all of these show up this error. What is it ? It can be so for the all the templates I downloaded.Is it that Joomla 1.5 template won't work with Joomla 3 ?

How do I install these templates ? I see a file named templateDetails.xml in there.

Note:

Here is the templateDetails.xml : thexml.html

I found something while browsing.

Just change the .xml file in the template folder.

change the 'install' tag to 'extension' and change the version to 2.5 or higher... and it worked for me.

The step by step process is explained in the below link
