pkgadd will not install solaris studio 12.3

I downloaded Solaris 10 OS on x86, SVR4 installer to my desktop and ran digest -a md5 on the downloaded file and the hash values matched. I then ran bunzip2 followed by pkgadd -d SolarisStudio12.3-solaris-x86-pkg and am getting the following error:

Code:

pkgadd: ERROR: attempt to process datastream failed
    - bad format in datastream table-of-contents
pkgadd: ERROR: could not process datastream from </Desktop/SolarisStudio12.3-solaris-x86-pkg>

I also copied the package to /var/spool/pkg and ran pkgadd from there to no good:

Code:

# pkgadd -r SolarisStudio12.3-solaris-x86-pkg
pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/spool/pkg>

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I have to do to get this installed...

thanks!
