I create one template for joomla 2.5. But when I installed it it show the error:

"Failed loading XML file D:\wamp\www\demoproject\tmp\install_51a44308e27b9\templateDetails.xml XML: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file"

How can I solve it please?

It means your XML file isn't properly written. The actual error is:

XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document

Check the file and make sure 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

is the first line in the file. No line breaks or anything else is allowed before this.

  1. That means you try to install the wrong .zip file. It happens often if you try to install a Joomla 1.5 template to a Joomla 1.6 website or the other way around.

  2. Another common reason is, that you try to install the templates download package (<- the ZIP Archive with all the template stuff inside, like the psd file, the docs AND the installation files) , instead of the included installation file.

  3. <extension version="2.5" type="template" client="site"> Try extension tag instead install.
  4. <!DOCTYPE install PUBLIC "-//Joomla! 1.6//DTD template 1.0//EN" "http://www.joomla.org/xml/dtd/1.6/template-install.dtd"> Include the correct doc type.
