Can't install InFocus theme into WordPress 3.3

   Hi! I am a newbie so it could be user error. But when I try to install the InFocus theme into WordPress 3.3 through the WordPress admin panel it won't install. It keeps "sending request to" my URL but nothing happens. Here are the steps I took:

   1) I upgraded to WordPress 3.3
   2) I downloaded InFocus zip file
   3) In Word Admin Panel, I went to the themes area (where I currently have Twenty Eleven 1.3) and hit the Install Theme tab
   4) I hit the Upload tab, browsed for the InFocus zip file (not extracted) and hit the Install Now button
   5) Nothing happens other than the message in my bottom nav bar that "sending request to" my URL (which eventually stops).

   Any suggestions on what to do?

   Can I start uploading content in my old theme or will it get deleted when I change to the new InFocus theme?

   Thanks very much for any guidance!

   Happy Holidays!

   I got it fixed. I unzipped the file and then clicked on the InFocus folder that was in the zip file and I re-zipped just that InFocus theme folder by right-clicking on it and choosing the Compress option (on a Mac). I then uploaded the newly created zip file and then it properly installed.
