Why do you download R-110.tgz? You use it only if you want to compile it from source yourself (I think). You should find lots of zipped files from where you get rwinst.exe. Download all (if you don't know which files you don't need), and run rwinst.exe. Select your source and destination folders, your source folder will be wherever you saved all those zipped files. Then the next few steps are trivial. Feel free to drop me a private message if you are still unsure :-) Cheers, Ko-Kang -----Original Message----- From: owner-r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:owner-r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch]On Behalf Of Sarah Inglis Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 8:42 PM To: r-help at lists.R-project.org Subject: [R] Installing R Hi, I need some help installing R - I have Windows - i have downloaded rwinst.exe, a zip file and R-110tgz.
