Dear Vito, I've never experienced this problem myself in a general way, and I'm sure that Windows users of R call install.packages() all the time to install packages from CRAN mirrors. So the question to ask, I think, is what's preventing install.packages() from working in your case -- possibly an Internet connectivity problem due to a firewall, proxy server, use of https, etc. I'm sure that others more knowledgeable about these issues than I am will be able to make more specific suggestions for fixing the problem.

(Sekhar try to install any other packages..) I am experiencing the same problem, in that when typing > install.packages("_ANY_PACKAGE_") I get the message Warning message: package ‘_ANY_PACKAGE_’ is not available (for R version 3.2.3) But I can download the .zip file and unzip it.. I tried different CRAN mirrors... best, vito Il 09/02/2016 12.44, Sekhar Venkatesan ha scritto: > Dear Mr. Murdoch, > I am extremely sorry to have sent the mail to you instead of R-help.
