 * I am unable to install theme. WordPress won’t allow theme that doesn’t have styles.
   css file. When I manually unzip moesia.1.19, I see that it has a styles.php. 
   However there is no .css file. I tried files downloaded from the wordpress repository
   and [athemes.com/theme/moesia.](http://athemes.com/theme/moesia/) Any suggestions?

 * There is a style.css file, see here: [https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/moesia/1.19/style.css](https://themes.svn.wordpress.org/moesia/1.19/style.css)
   
   Not really sure what you’re doing, but can’t you install it from the dashboard,
   without downloading it?

 * Thanks and yes, I did attempt to install via the dashboard first. It gave me 
   the error message about the missing styles.css file. I only attempted to install
   from the zip file found at athemes.com after installing through the dashboard
   didn’t work.
 * Since my post, I was able to install a older version (1.06) that I had saved 
   without any problems. I don’t know when the last update was launched but I think
   someone needs to double check the version currently offered.

 * The style.css I linked to is from the latest version, which is 1.19.
    Also, I
   just reinstalled the theme without issues from the dashboard. The changes we 
   made in the latest version weren’t that major to cause bad things to happen 🙂
 * What happens if you try updating the theme from the dashboard from 1.06 to the
   latest version?

 * After updating everything seems to be working fine. My site is now at version
   1.19 and the styles.css file is there.
 * I’m all set now. Thanks for your help.
 * In case you were interested, here is a link to a screen shot of what the theme
   zip file looks like if I download it from the repository and unzip it. It has
   styles.php but no styles.css

 * Thanks for sharing the screenshot. I think something was wrong with WP today,
   two more people reported that they updated the theme and they had no widgets 
   folder, which I see is also missing in your screenshot.
    If I download it now
   I see the whole package.
