Dear William, Please use a more informative subject line (as the posting guide asks you to do).
Backslash have a special function. In file paths you need to use either double backslashes or forward slashes. 'C:\\Users\\Bill\\Desktop\\DMwR_0.2.1.zip' 'C:/Users/Bill/Desktop/DMwR_0.2.1.zip' Best regards, Thierry PS It might be time to upgrade your R version. R 2.10.1 is quite old. R 2.14.0 will be available within a month. > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > Namens William Claster > Verzonden: woensdag 5 oktober 2011 7:06 > Aan: [email protected] > Onderwerp: [R] (no subject) > > Hi.
