Peter, i tried the file.choose() method of installing from local zip files; its easy to install few packages that way. but you see if there are many packages(say >10 or 12), then i wont be able to install the packages on which the packages that i want to install depend because i guess i cant set
dependencies=TRUE by this method.

here is what i tried
i replaced "http://my.local.cran"; (code below) in Rprofile.site with
"file://C:/R/packages/" and then did

install.packages(c("pkg1", "pkg2", ...),dependencies=TRUE) in R console but
dint succeed..

What were the error messages?

(I would have guessed that you needed to specify that the packages should be installed from "source", since I think that the default might be "win.binary". The error messages should have been informative. Always include full error messages as the Posting Guide clearly states.)


# set a CRAN mirror
local({r <- getOption("repos")
     r["CRAN"] <- "http://my.local.cran/";
      options(repos=r)})

Would Appreciate help
