Maybe try using the "Rebuild Icon Cache", then delete the package and download a fresh copy, double-click to invoke Icon Packager (if not invoked by download), click "Apply" to set theme.
If you still have problems, you may want to save your package themes to a temporary folder > Restore default icons > uninstall IconPackager > reboot > delete the IconPackager directory > reintstall IconPackager.
If all goes well, copy or move saved package themes back to IconPackager directory.

Are you using the latest beta version? If you are, that is the problem. There have been several threads about this and other problems with the beta version.

Normally, you would start Icon Packager, go to "Tools > select "Restore all Icons" > click "Yes" button > click "OK" in Icon Packager dialog.
After a few seconds, the dialog will close, and all the icons should be returned to their defaults.
Now you can start Icon Packager again to select and apply a new package.
Note - there are also two functions under the Tools menu "Rebuild Icon Cache" and "Repair Icon Images" which can be used to help fix issues.
I hope this helps.
