I have tested this two times, on two different machines/sites. Looking more closely, and the theme was dumped into the main theme folder. I have attached a screenshot.

To replicate:

1) Using the Update Manager "Install new module" button, paste in the link to http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/danland-7.x-1.0.tar.gz
2) Click install.

Expected: An "installation complete" message.

Error:

Installation failed! See the log below for more information.

danland
* Error installing / updating
* File Transfer failed, reason: Cannot chmod /Users/username/Sites/mysite/sites/all/themes/danland.

Great theme, by the way! Thank you!!

Hi heather,

Its seem this is not the Danland problems but the Drupal core update manager bugs, please report it to Drupal core issue queue. And glad you like the theme :)

Oh strange- because I don't get it with other themes.

Oh well :)

Hi,

I saw "cannot chmod..." this is the permission problem where "chmod" mean if Drupal core try to change the file / folder permission. You can read the issue here.
