im just upload my new theme into WP, and suddenly it said the installation failed due to missing file style.css

I checked back into the zip folder, I found that the file is still there.

can someone explain to me..?

Most often people upload the wrong zip – the one that they get from download. You will need to look for the theme file inside the zip downloaded from envato.

Hi! You need to unzip the file you downloaded and upload the theme inside it. Please see Solving broken theme issues. Thanks! :)

I clicked that link .. and it goes to a general support page. Then I searched for the particular page and i found this: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/269/0/my-wordpress-theme-isnt-working-what-should-i-do


Funny fact about that page: that article has 90 votes and the rate is 0.5 stars from 5, meaning that is not that usefull for some reason :)
