  Hey there,

  It sounds like you are trying to install a third party theme for a self-hosted WordPress.ORG blog. Third party themes can not be uploaded to a free hosted WordPress.COM blog. They are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  If you do have a self-hosted blog, you can pose this question in the WordPress,org forums and they can assist you:

  Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

  Cheers,
