Just like any theme, you put the theme directory that contains the theme
files into the theme directory. I don't know for sure, but from looking at
your pic I would assume you put it in html/themes/.
So if the theme you bought extracts to a directory called MYTHEME, then you
copy it to html/themes/ and you end up with html/themes/MYTHEMES/ that has
your theme files in it.
Also, to run an AutoTheme theme you need the AutoTheme module, which I can
only assume that you have installed already?

1st off thanks for such a fast reply.
I have installed nothing
I unziped the files and per the instructions FTP them to the CMS
directory.
How do I install the AutoTheme module? All I have (came with the theme) is
what you see in the picture. Im guessing I need to download this module.
Assuming I do, do I install it in /postnuke/html/modules ?
Sorry, this must be so redoundant for you. You probably answer this

You can download the free at-lite here, or buy the commercial version here
also, either will run your theme. The commercial version has extra
features and support.
Follow the install doc in the AutoTheme zip. It is very simple but just
read it carefully. You can't just copy the files to the root dir or the
modules dir. The AutoTheme zip has the exact directory layout that you
need, so its as easy as copying the contents of the zip (directory
structure and all).

Thanks, I have everything installed!
just a recap for anyone else having this problem with PostNuke php
Starting with the installation of AutoTheme
1) Download the .zip
2) Extract and up load via FTP into the postnuke folder
example www.yoursite.com/postnuke/
(upload the contents of the folder alit_87_pn, not the folder alit_87_pn
with its contents - just the contents)
select YES to all the overwrite warnings.
Installing the THEME
1) Extract and upload the files into
www.yoursite.com/postnuke/html/themes/your_themes_extracted_folder
Log into postnuke as an admin
Admin>Modules> Regenerate
make sure you see the AutoTheme module
Admin>Settings> select your_theme as the default theme
Save Changes
as simple as it seems to me know, it was greek to me only 20min ago
