The packages feature of Rgui is great! However it looks the directory structure
was changed for http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/, such that some
the packages are now under /rw1030 (e.g., VR) and are not found by
install.packages(). Thus the error message:
trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/VR.zip'
Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, mode = "wb") :
cannot open: HTTP status was `404'

That's a very temporary change to avoid people updating on rw1023 to versions that needed rw1030, and it will change on CRAN tomorrow. However, VR is already one of the recommended packages which come with rw1030, so you don't need to install it from CRAN. -- Brian D.

There's just no VR.zip file in it. VR is *inside* rw1030 so why would you want to download it? If by any chance you are still using 1.2.3, packages that have become obsolete(-escent) now sit in http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/rw1023 -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
