R help - Nov 2002 - 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.

You're the first I've heard from having problems with 1.6.1, but I did
hear from a couple of people having similar problems with 1.6.0, and
was never able to identify the cause.  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.
