        It is the first of our application that shows this problem. At least
as far as I know.
        The installation of R works without any problem, only the addition
of further packages does not. What is the difference between both
installation parts? Of course you may ask what is the difference between
Windows NT and Windows XP as client system. And you may ask what is the
difference between a Windows NT and a Windows 2003 file server?
        Is R using a piece of code that Windows XP sends wrong to a Windows
2003 file server?

        What I did, was "Install packages from local zip files..."
interactivly.

Is the share form which R has been started mounted on a drive letter or do you start via the UNC path?
Which package is it? Does it also happen for CRAN packages?
I guess any security setting either on the Server or the client are blocking the installation. But it is really hard to guess what it really is... You might want to ask your local IT stuff.
