You could also try to extract the template to (for example) /temp/yourtemplate/ and then use the Joomla Extension Manager -> install from directory (setting the directory, where you extracted the files)

Open the XML file inside the ZIP and change (twice) <install to <extension

Save the file and install it

If you get the same warning and error when installing other extensions, then maybe it's caused by your Xampp configuration.

As an alternative, you could try unzipping your template package and uploading it to

your site root / templates directory

Then use the Joomla Extention Manager Discover from
Extensions → Manage → Discover

More about the discover option:

Good luck!
