[R] Corrupted file error message installing from rw1061.exe
R-Help readers: I have downloaded rw1061.exe several times from CRAN and one of the mirrors, and when installing I get two error messages about inability to copy corrupted files. The two files are: c:\Program Files\R\rw1061\library\nlme\R\nlme c:\Program Files\R\rw1061\library\base\html\plotdefault.html I can probably just reinstall nlme from CRAN, but I'm not sure what to do about the html file in base. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be appreciated. Dan Nordlund -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think that it's some intermittent bug in the installer, or incompatibility with some 3rd party program (anti-virus?), rather than any real error in the file. Could you let me know details about your system: what version of Windows, are you using anti-virus software, anything like that that might impact on this? As mentioned in another message, there's a problem with the CHM files in the rw1061.exe currently on CRAN; I'm planning to upload a new version later today. Once that is online the bug might go away.
