Thanks Uwe. Actually, the problem persists in R-3.2.1.

If it helps, the .zip file is here:

Works for me, but your error message is:


"cannot open compressed file 'mypackage/DESCRIPTION'"

which suggests you renamed the file? You must not do that, just keep the filename "calibr_0.0.0.9000.zip".

Thank you,
Axel.

        Hello,

        I've built a windows binary package from my Mac using the help
        from this
        site: http://win-builder.r-project.org

        As expected, I got back the file "mypackage.zip". Also, the logs
        show no
        errors.


    No, you got a file packagename_version.zip.



        Now, when I try to install on windows using the GUI "install
        package(s)
        from local zip files", I get the following error:

            utils:::menuInstallLocal()

        Error in read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"),
        c("Package", "Type"))
        :
            cannot open the connection
        In addition: Warning messages:
        1: In unzip(zipname, exdir = dest) : error 1 in extracting from
        zip file
        2: In read.dcf(file.path(pkgname, "DESCRIPTION"), c("Package",
        "Type")) :
            cannot open compressed file 'mypackage/DESCRIPTION',
        probable reason 'No
        such file or directory'

        I've attempted to use the solutions from prior similar email
        threats with
        no success. Btw - I've install all the packages dependencies
        prior to the
        above. I'm on R 3.2.0.


    please try the release condadate of R-3.2.1, R-3.2.0 had a bug for
    package installation from local zip files.

    Best,
    Uwe Ligges


        Any guidance would be much appreciated.

        Thank you.

        Axel.
