I'm looking to install the demo template of Oculus by installing the rocket launcher for it. I already installed the bundle and I was hoping to just start off by the demo version however I get this error.
"The RocketLauncher package should not be installed into an existing Joomla instance. It is a stand-alone Joomla installation.
Files Install: Custom install routine failure"
What should I do to get the demo template installed?

You cannot install a rocketlauncher into an existing joomla installation. A rocket launcher contains joomla, gantry, rt extensions, template and demo data all in one package.
For Joomla 2.5 we offer 3 installation packages:
1. RocketLauncher which contains the latest Joomla core installation, the template itself and the Gantry framework which is like the Control Panel for the template and a mix of Rockettheme extensions.
This package needs an empty folder on your server and you will get your Joomla core installed, the Gantry framework and the template. During installation choosing to install "Sample Data" will make the installed site look like the demo. However, our newer templates will install this automatically for you.
2. Bundle which is the Gantry framework and the template itself.
This package is used when there is a previous Joomla installation with a non-Rockettheme template installed. After installation you have the required the Gantry framework and the template. No "Sample Data" is offered as your Database already contains site content information. There are no extensions offered with this package since they have to be installed in folders outside of the Rockettheme template folder.
3. Template Standalone which is the template itself.
This package is used when there is a previous Joomla installation with a Rockettheme template installed. Since Gantry would have been previously installed, it's only required to install the template (although upgrading to the latest Gantry is highly recommended). Again no "Sample Data" is offered as your Database already contains site content information and the same situation for extensions as the "Bundle".

- I understand all of that, but what should I do to get the rocket launcher installed? Wipe my website through the FTP client and re-install the rocket launcher files?

yes wipe out all the content in the root directory of your site, empty your mysql database, upload the rocketlauncher zip into the root directory of your site and unzip it there on the server. go to the url of your site in browser and follow the instructions.
