There will be an existing file with same name, just overwrite that.
NOTE: Make sure you have patched the "uxtheme.dll" file to allow 3rd party visual styles, if its not patched, then download and run the UXtheme Patcher from here:

^^ I think you have not run UXTheme Patcher. Boot into Safe Mode and then run the patcher. Then you'll be able to use the theme.

^^ You have to extract the RAR file using WinRAR or 7- zip and then copy the mentioned folder to "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes" folder. All instructions have been clearly mentioned in the Readme file as well as the description.
