    Just bought my Colorway theme and downloaded the zip-file.
    When I try to install the theme trough the theme installer in WP by just uploading the zip-file I get the following message:
    Paketet kunde inte installeras. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

    I also tried to unzip the file on my harddrive and got several errors, that I could bypass. I tried to zip the files, and upload my newly created zip-file but it didn´t install anyway.
    I deleted everything and downloaded the file again, with the same problem.

    I, m running the latest WP 3.5.2, Firefox browser and IZArc

    Thanks for a quick response :)

    You need to extract the content from the zip file prior to uploading via ftp. Transfer the whole folder 'colorwaytheme' into the remote '/wp-content/themes' folder. I have just successfully downloaded and unziped the colourway theme so you may need to try a different ZIP tool.

    Ok, thanks!
    I will try that tomorrow.
    I just asumed that I could install it directly from the zip-file as I´m used to. It´s kind of strange that I have to upload it trough FTP, haven´t had to do that in a log while.
    I haven´t had any problems before with IZArc, so it seems strange that IZArc is the problem.
    I´ll let you know how it works out.
