Need help on installing SMF themes and to get them working.

I've done everything right, I think.  I uploaded a theme from my servers path, yet after install is complete I go to choose the theme but it shows a default normal theme.  Can someone help me?

when you say install, you mean
Admin> Themes and Layout> Manage and Install> Install a New Theme?

Both are 1.1 RC3.  I've used ftp to make the themes contents go inside the themes folder on my server. When I select a theme to use it shows up as...well, in fact similar to this boards default theme.
