In preparation for 1.2.0, install.packages() and update.packages() for Windows versions of R will stop working shortly (as changes propagate around CRAN). They will work again when rw1020 is released (in about a couple of weeks), but you can still fetch the package zip files manually (from the bin/windows/contrib/Old directory once that propagates around CRAN). Version 1.2.0 will require a number of packages to be re-compiled, especially on Windows, so I intend to re-build them all for use with rw1020. -- Brian D.
