[R] install packages in Windows Vista
Dear R experts... I would really appreciate your suggestions in installing a package in Windows Vista... I am unable to install a package on a windows vista based computer, in spite of running it as an administrator. The package xpose4.2.1 is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/xpose/files/Xpose4/Xpose_4.2.1/xpose4_4.2.1_win32.zip/download Following is the error message when I try to install the package from the Rgui command line... I get similar errors when I try to install the packages from Rgui (Packages | Install packages from local zip files) menu, but with default lib=C:/Users/santosh/Documents/R/win-library/2.11 . install.packages(C:/Users/santosh/Downloads/xpose4_4.2.1_win32.zip,repos=NULL,lib=C:/Program Files/R/R-2.11.1/library) Error in gzfile(file, r) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, r) : cannot open compressed file 'xpose4_4.2.1_win32/DESCRIPTION', probable reason 'No such file or directory' However, I see file folder in which the library related folders are installed..

Re: [R] Install Packages in Windows Vista
Run R as the Administrator. Install the packages. Then run as an ordinary user. Charles Annis, P.E.

Re: [R] Install Packages in Windows Vista
You do that by right clicking the R icon on the Windows Desktop and then choosing Run As Administrator . Alternately grab el.js and Rgui.bat from the batchfiles distribution -- home page is at: http://batchfiles.googlecode.com and place them anywhere in your path and then you can just do this from the command line to start up R as an elevated process (you will be asked for confirmation): el Rgui (Omitting el starts it up normally.)
