Okay, Subramanian S, try this:
pkgs <- c("pkg1", "pkg2", "pkg3")
install.packages(pkgs, repos = NULL,
contriburl = "file:///c:/r/repos/2.12",
dependencies = TRUE)
where I've got zipfiles in c:/r/repos/2.12.
Comments:
1. Note the 3 slashes after "file:".
2. You will also have to copy the file PACKAGES into
your download folder.
3. Specify "lib=" if you don't want to install into the
default directory.
4. You may get warnings about unavailable packages.

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
